Cranberry & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Brie

Ingredients 🛒

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🐓
1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped 🥬
1/3 cup dried cranberries 🍒
4 oz brie cheese, sliced 🧀
2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 🌿
1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 🌟

For the Glaze:

2 tablespoons honey 🍯
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard 🥫

Instructions 📋

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, dried cranberries, and brie cheese slices. Mix gently to combine.
Prepare the Chicken: Season each chicken breast with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Use a knife to create a pocket in each chicken breast: carefully slice the side of each breast without cutting all the way through.
Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cranberry and spinach mixture into each pocket, ensuring they are filled evenly. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to keep the stuffing from spilling out.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Bake the Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Brush the tops generously with the glaze. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top if desired, and serve with your choice of side dishes.
