Cranberry & Spinach Stuffed Chicken with Brie: A Gourmet Delight

Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the chicken: Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Wilt the spinach: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach for 1 to 2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cranberries.

Stuff the chicken: Fill each chicken breast with slices of brie cheese and the spinach-cranberry mixture. Drizzle with honey, if using, and secure the opening with toothpicks.

Sear the chicken: Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Bake the chicken: Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
