Chicken breasts filled with cranberries, spinach, and brie for a flavor-packed gluten-free dinner.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
03 - 0.5 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened
04 - 115 grams brie cheese, rind removed, sliced

→ Seasoning and Assembly

05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
08 - 1 teaspoon paprika
09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
11 - Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C.
02 - Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a deep pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
03 - Fill each pocket evenly with fresh spinach leaves, dried cranberries, and sliced brie. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the filling in place.
04 - Rub olive oil over all sides of each chicken breast. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
05 - Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
06 - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reaches 74°C.
07 - Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks or twine. Slice and serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use unsweetened dried cranberries to balance the creamy brie and enhance the savory notes.
