How to Make Cranberry Brie Stuffed Chicken
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting a pocket into each chicken breast. Take your time to ensure it’s deep but not piercing through, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Stuff the Chicken: Gently fill each pocket with slices of brie cheese, dried cranberries, and sprinkle some fresh thyme. Be careful not to overstuff, so you can easily secure them later.
  3. Secure the Chicken: If needed, use toothpicks to hold the openings closed.
  4. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Add Flavor: Once seared, add minced garlic and chicken broth to the skillet. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the toothpicks, then spoon the garlic-and-broth sauce over the stuffed chicken. Serve immediately.
