Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with olive oil.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Be sure not to cut all the way through; you want to create a space to stuff the brie cheese.
-
Stuff each chicken breast with slices of brie cheese. The amount will depend on the size of the chicken breast and your preference for cheesiness.
-
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
-
Coat each stuffed chicken breast with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere to the chicken.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the breaded chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
-
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
-
Once done, remove the Chicken Stuffed Brie from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a burst of fragrance and flavor.
-
Serve your Chicken Stuffed Brie hot, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness with each bite!
