Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast with a sharp knife.
- Stuff each chicken pocket with a slice of brie cheese and spoon the cooled cranberry mixture over the brie.
- Secure the openings of each chicken breast with toothpicks.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle over the top of each breast.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Prepare stuffed chicken breasts up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
