Creating this delicious Cranberry Brie Stuffed Chicken dish is straightforward. Follow these step-by-step instructions for success:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Take the chicken breasts and carefully slice a pocket into the side of each one. Ensure you don’t cut all the way through.
3. Season the Chicken: Season both the outside and the inside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
4. Stuff Chicken: In each pocket, insert a few pieces of Brie cheese and a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce.
5. Secure the Filling: Use toothpicks to secure the openings of the stuffed chicken breasts if necessary, to keep the filling intact during cooking.
6. Heat Olive Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
7. Sear the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
8. Add Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth into the skillet to add moisture while the chicken finishes cooking.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
10. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
11. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
