Notes
Note that when stuffing the chicken breasts with brie cheese, it's important to use a sharp knife to make a slit in the thickest part of the chicken without cutting through to the other side. This will create a pocket where the cheese can be inserted. Be sure to seal the chicken properly with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out during cooking.
