Equipment

  • skillet
  • Oven
  • kitchen twine

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless & skinless
  • 5 ounces brie cheese cut into 6 long slices
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil for frying
  • 6 ounces spinach chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut chicken breasts lengthwise into 6 smaller pieces that you can butterfly. Then slice each piece lengthwise in the middle but not through. Open flat and tenderize a bit. Set aside.
  • Preheat large non-stick skillet on low-medium heat and swirl half of oil to coat. Add garlic and onion, saute until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add spinach, cranberries, thyme, salt and pepper; saute for another minute. Remove from heat.
  • Divide spinach mixture into 6 piles. In the middle of a flat open chicken tender, place a slice of brie and ⅙th of spinach stuffing next to it. Fold in half, tuck in the ends (if possible) and wrap tightly with kitchen twine. Repeat with remaining chicken, place it on a large plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and swirl remaining oil. Add stuffed chicken and sear for about 3 minutes per side.
  • If your skillet is oven proof, cover it or transfer chicken to a baking dish (and cover), and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, let chicken stand 5 minutes and remove the twine.
  • Serve hot with a side of choice spooning juices on top.
