  • 1/4 cup Orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese Cut into slices
For the Topping

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh cranberries and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften and burst.
  3. Stir in honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  5. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast with a sharp knife.
  6. Stuff each chicken pocket with a slice of brie cheese and spoon the cooled cranberry mixture over the brie.
  7. Secure the openings of each chicken breast with toothpicks.
  8. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
  9. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle over the top of each breast.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
