Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Stuffing
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounce brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cranberry Sauce
- 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 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Make Cranberry Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook the mixture until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare Chicken: Slice a pocket into each chicken breast carefully, avoiding cutting all the way through. Season both the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Stuff Chicken: Fill each chicken breast pocket with pieces of brie cheese, a spoonful of the slightly cooled cranberry sauce, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Add Panko Topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with the panko breadcrumbs. Press this mixture firmly onto the top of each stuffed chicken breast to create a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking. Serve with any remaining cranberry sauce spooned over the top and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Notes
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted Brussels sprouts, fresh green salad, or roasted root vegetables.
- For a festive side, try cranberry-orange relish or sautéed spinach.
- Complement the flavors with a crisp white wine or a light, fruity red wine.
