Creating Impressive Cranberry Brie Stuffed Chicken is an enjoyable process! Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This allows for even cooking.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut a pocket into each breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the Brie cheese, dried cranberries, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Stuff the Chicken: Carefully spoon the cheese and cranberry mixture into each chicken pocket. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Prepare Breading: Set up your breading station by placing the breadcrumbs in one bowl and the beaten egg in another.
6. Bread the Chicken: Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the egg, coating well, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
7. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
8. Sear the Chicken: Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
9. Transfer to Oven: Once seared, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven.
10. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
11. Rest Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
12. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a touch of freshness and color.
