Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced thinly
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with slices of brie cheese and a heaping tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Secure openings with toothpicks.

Notes
For best results, let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to redistribute juices.
