  4. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Notes

For easier stuffing, consider butterflying the chicken breasts. Substitute brie with goat cheese for a tangy twist or add pomegranate seeds for an extra pop of color. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days or can be frozen for up to a month.
