Ingredients

  • 4 large boneless , skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and sliced into strips
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  • Using a sharp chef knife, cut a horizontal pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, ensuring the blade does not pierce through the opposite side.
  • Stuff each pocket with approximately 1 ounce of brie cheese and 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries. Secure the edges with wooden toothpicks.
  • In a small ramekin, combine the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with the spice blend.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Transfer the skillet directly into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks and serving.
