Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: Choose high-quality chicken for the best results.
- ½ pound Brie cheese: Slice into thin pieces.
- 3 oz prosciutto: Typically, about 2 slices per chicken breast.
- 1 cup orange marmalade: Look for a high-quality marmalade with no added sugar.
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary: Finely chopped to enhance the flavors.
- Salt and pepper: To taste.
Optional Substitutions:
- Use turkey bacon instead of prosciutto for a less salty option.
- Substitute cream cheese if you’re looking for a more affordable option compared to Brie.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Use a sharp paring knife to cut a horizontal pocket in each chicken breast. Make sure not to cut all the way through.
Step 2: Add the Filling
- Stuff each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of Brie cheese. Ensure the cheese is tucked in to prevent it from spilling out.
- Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto, covering the opening of the pocket.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the orange marmalade for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the chopped rosemary. Mix well.
Step 4: Glaze and Bake
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the orange marmalade glaze evenly over the chicken.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Uncover and Baste
- Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the juices, and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the top.

- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, always opt for fresh rosemary and high-quality Brie cheese.
- Secure the Filling: Use toothpicks to help secure the prosciutto around the chicken breast to prevent it from unwrapping during baking.
- Don’t Overstuff: Avoid overfilling the chicken breasts, as the cheese can easily melt and ooze out.
