How this recipe comes together
Brie & Cranberry Stuffed Chicken with Lemon Honey Finish is all about layers of flavor and texture. First, you’ll create pockets in the chicken breasts to hold the melty brie and sweet cranberries. After a quick sear in a skillet, they get a nice golden crust before popping them in the oven. While it bakes, you can prepare the zesty lemon-honey drizzle that adds a touch of bright sweetness right before serving. It’s a simple yet gratifying process that results in a dish worthy of celebration!
