Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast on a cutting board and slice horizontally to create a pocket.
Fill each pocket with Brie cheese, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and fresh spinach if desired.
Season the outside of each stuffed breast with salt and pepper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Avoid overstuffing the chicken to prevent leaks. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
