Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh cranberries and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they soften and begin to burst.
  3. Stir in honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, and ginger to the softened cranberries. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  4. Take your boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut a deep pocket into each breast, being careful not to cut through.
  5. Stuff each chicken breast with brie cheese followed by the cooled cranberry mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  6. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until combined. Place seared chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with the breadcrumb mixture.
  8. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove chicken from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Take out toothpicks, slice for presentation, and garnish with chopped parsley.
