Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh cranberries (or 1/2 cup cranberry sauce)

8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into slices

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup spinach leaves

1/2 cup chicken broth

Fresh rosemary, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick. This will make them easier to stuff and help them cook evenly.

      Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries (or cranberry sauce), brie cheese, and walnuts. You can add a touch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

        Stuff the Chicken: On each chicken breast, lay a generous spoonful of the cranberry-brie mixture in the center. Top with some spinach leaves. Carefully fold in the sides and roll up the chicken tightly, securing it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

          Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over each rolled chicken breast.

            Sear the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

              Bake the Chicken: Once browned, carefully pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

                Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
