Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh cranberries and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften and burst.
  3. Stir in the honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and set the cranberry mixture aside to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast, careful not to slice all the way through.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with brie cheese pieces and the cooled cranberry mixture.
  7. Use toothpicks to seal the opening of each stuffed chicken breast.
  8. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  9. Combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter until evenly coated. Spread over the top of each stuffed chicken breast.
  10. Bake the stuffed chicken for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  11. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
