Cranberry & Spinach Stuffed Chicken with Brie: A Gourmet Delight

Serving Suggestions: Serve this stuffed chicken alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal. It also pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or quinoa.

Variations:

Cheese Swap: If you don’t have brie, you can use goat cheese or cream cheese for a creamy filling.

Add a Nutty Twist: For an extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the spinach and cranberry mixture.

Herb Variations: If you don’t have thyme, feel free to use rosemary or basil for a slightly different flavor profile.

FAQ:

Can I make this ahead of time? Yes! You can stuff the chicken breasts a few hours before cooking. Simply store them in the fridge until ready to cook. When you’re ready, follow the searing and baking steps.

What if I don’t have toothpicks? You can use kitchen twine to tie the chicken breasts shut or simply fold the chicken over the filling if needed.

How can I ensure the chicken stays juicy? Avoid overcooking the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
