Ingredients

Scale

1 cup dried cranberries
8 ounces brie cheese, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes). Stir in cranberries and pine nuts if using.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets. Stuff each pocket with the cranberry-spinach mixture and slices of brie.
