Cranberry and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Brie

Cranberry and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Brie

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • 4-ounces brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper

For the Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ tsp. Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
  • While the chicken is baking, in a small saucepan, over low heat, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard; sauté until slightly thickened; set the glaze aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the chopped spinach, dried cranberries and slices of brie cheese; thoroughly combine the ingredients.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture, securing the opening with toothpicks, if needed.
  • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt and black pepper.
  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken for 2 -3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven (or place the chicken in the prepared baking dish) and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Remove from the oven, remove the toothpicks, if using, and drizzle the glaze over the chicken before serving.
  • Garnish with additional dried cranberries or fresh spinach, if desired.
