# Ingredients:
01 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
Salt and pepper to season the chicken
03 -
4 to 6 ounces (110 - 170g) brie, sliced
04 -
4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
05 -
6 slices bacon
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
02 -
Cut the chicken breasts partially in half lengthwise and lay flat on a chopping board.
03 -
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
04 -
Divide the slices of brie and the cranberry sauce between the two chicken breasts, placing them in the middle of the cut section.
05 -
Close the chicken breasts and tightly wrap them with the slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
06 -
Place the wrapped chicken breasts on a lined baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked through.
07 -
Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest on a chopping board covered loosely with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
# Tips:
01 -
Do not cut the chicken all the way through when butterflying it to make folding easier during preparation.
02 -
Avoid overpacking the filling to reduce the chance of it oozing out during cooking.
03 -
Wrap the bacon tightly around the chicken for better presentation and to keep the filling intact.
