Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 200 grams Camembert cheese
- 180 grams cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
Stuff each chicken pocket with a slice or two of Camembert cheese and about 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Secure the pocket with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 5
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 6
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove the toothpicks carefully and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with extra rosemary or a drizzle of cranberry sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
