Creating Cranberry Brie Stuffed Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about ½ inch thick for even cooking.
3. Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
4. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the Brie cheese, cranberries, honey, and thyme. If using spinach, add it to the mixture as well.
5. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the filling mixture onto one side of each chicken breast. Fold the other side over to create a pocket. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
6. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Add Broth: Carefully add the chicken broth to the skillet, ensuring it doesn’t wash away the filling.
8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
9. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
10. Serve: Remove toothpicks if used, slice, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.

With these easy steps, you can create a dish that looks elegant and tastes incredible.
