  • 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 oz Brie cheese Rind removed and sliced
  • 1 cup Baby spinach chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Meat thermometer
  • Toothpicks (optional)

Method
 

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
  2. Combine the Brie cheese, chopped spinach, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  3. Combine the Brie cheese, chopped spinach, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  4. Combine the Brie cheese, chopped spinach, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Season both sides of the chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Stir the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese into the skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

• Remove the Brie rind before stuffing for the creamiest filling.
• Don't overfill the chicken breasts to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
• Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
