Meat with lingonberries
Description
Cranberries, like lingonberries, are often served as a sauce accompaniment to meat. But I found it interesting to use the berries themselves as a filling inside the meat. To prepare meat with cranberries, you can use not only chicken breasts but also veal, turkey, or pork with the berries. The filling also includes creamy soft cheese. You can try using grated hard cheese, but the result won't be the same. This combination of delicate cheese, slightly tart and bitter-sweet berries, and rich balsamic sauce will make the meat incredibly delicious.

Step 2
Lightly pound the chicken breast (or piece of meat) if it's too thick. Rub it lightly with olive oil and spread with cream cheese (you can also sprinkle with grated hard cheese). Add some spices, lingonberries, finely chopped herbs or onion.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Stuff the chicken breasts (you can even secure them with toothpicks to prevent the filling from leaking out). Pour or, better yet, brush the chicken breasts with balsamic sauce using a silicone brush. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4
While the chicken is baking, I recommend preparing a side dish. This could be simple grilled vegetables, for example, asparagus or green beans. Sauté finely chopped onion and garlic in vegetable oil.
