Description
Juicy Burrata Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Cranberry Glaze — tender chicken filled with creamy burrata cheese, baked to perfection, and drizzled with a sweet-tart cranberry glaze that feels as festive as it tastes.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz burrata cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff each pocket with burrata cheese.
3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. In a small bowl, mix cranberry sauce with minced garlic and thyme.
5. Spoon half of the cranberry glaze over the chicken. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
6. Drizzle remaining cranberry glaze over the chicken and serve warm with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
Use fresh thyme for the brightest flavor.
Make it festive with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds or chopped parsley on top.
Serve with roasted sweet potatoes or a couscous salad for a colorful, complete meal.
