Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of fresh cranberries and sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften and begin to burst.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and let the cranberry mixture cool completely.
  5. Carefully cut a pocket into each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the cooled cranberry mixture and pieces of Brie cheese.
  7. Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent filling leakage.
  8. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  9. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl, then mix with 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
  10. Transfer the seared chicken to a greased baking dish and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  12. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
