A quick and elegant weeknight meal featuring stuffed chicken breasts with a savory cranberry compote and creamy brie cheese.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the fresh cranberries to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Continue cooking the cranberry mixture, stirring occasionally, for another 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  6. Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and set it aside to cool.
  7. Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  8. Stuff each chicken breast with equal amounts of the brie cheese pieces.
  9. Spoon a portion of the cooled cranberry mixture into each chicken breast, over the brie cheese.
  10. Secure the opening of each chicken breast with toothpicks to keep the filling in place during cooking.
  11. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  12. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  13. While the chicken is searing, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter in a small bowl.
  14. Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
  15. Spread the panko mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  16. Return the chicken to the skillet and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  17. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  18. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  19. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken just before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

For faster cooking, pound the chicken to an even thickness for even searing and baking.
