Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, without cutting all the way through. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Stuff each pocket generously with slices of brie cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped rosemary.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear each stuffed chicken breast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
