(This recipe was originally published in June 2008, but was updated with new photos and content in 2021).

Doesn't meal planning get so tedious? Especially when you're looking specifically for easy weeknight dinners that aren't boring. I can't stand a boring dinner. Or a dinner that takes me an hour to prepare on a Monday evening.

When I came across this Spinach and Brie-Stuffed Chicken on Martha Stewart's website, I immediately knew three things:

  1. It's not boring
  2. It's easy
  3. It comes with a side built in

So many wins in one recipe! There are many sides this chicken recipe would pair well with, but I made the recommended tomato orzo and thought it was the perfect match. It's light and fresh and tastes like spring, even if you're stuck in the middle of winter.

My favorite tip for making this spinach and brie-stuffed chicken is to buy this "Wee Brie" if you can find it! Technically, you only need 4 ounces of brie and this is sold as 4.9 oz. but when did a little extra brie hurt anyone??

I love that you can just slice each of these wedges in half and roll it up in the chicken. If you want to stick to the 4 oz. the recipe calls for, simply trim a little extra off (and save it for another use or immediately gobble it up).

How to make spinach and brie-stuffed chicken

This recipe calls for 8 thin chicken cutlets. If you can't find chicken cutlets, you can use regular chicken breasts that you pound a bit to flatten.

Simply lay the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet and spread one side of each cutlet with mustard. Top with spinach and brie cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

I love those little brie wedges!

Starting at the short end of the chicken, roll tightly and place, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.

At first I thought I'd need to involve toothpicks, but really, the chicken stayed rolled quite nicely. Yay!

Put a little more salt and pepper on the chicken. And pop in your oven set to broil (with rack about 4 inches away from heat) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and looking golden on top.

I'm always amazed by how fast chicken cooks in the broiler...LOVE it and need to utilize it more often.

What to serve with brie-stuffed chicken

The tomato orzo is also incredibly easy and I'm including the recipe for that, too. I think it makes the perfect side dish, but if you want some other ideas, here are a few more recipes that would be great:

No matter what it's served with, this brie-stuffed chicken is so, so good. I know a lot of people consider chicken breast totally boring... But when it's stuffed with spinach, dijon mustard, and brie, how could it be boring??

This is also an awesome recipe for serving at a dinner party because you can prep it in advance and pop it in the oven right before you're ready to serve it.

What's your favorite quick and easy dinner?

    Wow, that looks incredible AND easy. I bet you could use Mozzarella in there if you aren't a fan of Brie too. Personally, i don't like Brie, but I will certainly try this!
