Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the perfect cooking environment for the chicken to develop a golden brown exterior.
  2. Sauté cranberries in olive oil over medium heat until they soften, about 5 minutes. The cranberries will start bursting, releasing their delicious juices.
  3. Mix the softened cranberries with honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir for another 3-4 minutes until well combined and fragrant.
  4. Cool the cranberry mixture slightly to make stuffing the chicken easier. This also helps the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Cut pockets into the chicken breasts carefully, ensuring not to slice all the way through. This will create space for that delightful filling.
  6. Stuff the chicken with the brie and cranberry mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings, keeping your delicious filling safe during cooking.
  7. Sear the chicken in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds a lovely crust on the outside.
  8. Combine panko breadcrumbs with melted butter in a small bowl, mixing until evenly coated. Then, spread this crunchy topping over the chicken.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should look golden and appetizing!
  10. Rest baked chicken for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for an inviting touch!
