Ingredients
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz Brie cheese, rind removed
1/2 cup sugar-free or homemade cranberry sauce
1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp poultry seasoning
Instructions
Preheat convection oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a sharp knife, slice a deep pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast.
In a bowl, mix the spinach, cranberry sauce, and Brie cheese.
Stuff the filling into the chicken pockets and secure the edges with toothpicks.
Rub the chicken exteriors with olive oil and dust with poultry seasoning.
Sear the chicken in a hot cast-iron skillet for three minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
Ensure the pockets are not cut all the way through to keep the filling secure. Using a meat thermometer is recommended to check that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove wooden toothpicks before serving.
