Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 ounces brie cheese, sliced

1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

1/2 cup fresh spinach

1 garlic clove, minced

Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. Slice a pocket horizontally into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté garlic and spinach until wilted. Set aside to cool.

4. Stuff each chicken pocket with brie slices, cranberry sauce, and sautéed spinach. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet and sear chicken on both sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).

6. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

7. Remove toothpicks, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Always sear the chicken first—it locks in flavor and gives a golden crust.

Use room-temperature brie for easier slicing and stuffing.
