Method
Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut a pocket into the thickest part of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Slice the brie cheese into thick wedges. Toss the fresh cranberries with a little honey or sugar. Stuff each chicken pocket with two slices of brie and a generous spoonful of cranberries. Secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
Seasoning
- Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and finely chopped rosemary.
Searing
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of butter. Place the chicken in the pan. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden.
Oven Finish
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Pan Sauce
- While the chicken rests, return the skillet to the stove. Add a splash of white wine and a bit more garlic. Scrape up the brown bits to create a simple, elegant glaze.
