# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Chicken and Seasoning
01 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
Salt, to season
03 -
Black pepper, to season
→ Stuffing
04 -
110–170 grams brie cheese, sliced
05 -
4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
→ Wrapping
06 -
6 slices bacon
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast partially in half lengthwise to create a pocket, ensuring not to slice completely through.
03 -
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
04 -
Evenly divide brie cheese and cranberry sauce between the breasts, placing the filling in the pocket created.
05 -
Close chicken breasts and tightly wrap each with 3 slices of bacon, overlapping to secure the filling. Use toothpicks to hold in place if necessary.
06 -
Transfer the wrapped chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
07 -
Remove from oven and rest chicken loosely covered with foil for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks prior to plating.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Do not cut the chicken breasts all the way through to ensure easy folding and to prevent filling from escaping.
02 -
Wrap the bacon tightly around the chicken for even cooking and to help secure the stuffing.
03 -
Allowing the stuffed chicken breasts to rest after baking improves juiciness.
