My Story Behind This Boursin Stuffed Chicken

The first time I made this easy stuffed chicken recipe was for a dinner party, and it became the star of the meal.

I wanted something elegant yet easy enough that I wouldn’t be stuck in the kitchen all night. Wrapping the chicken in prosciutto was inspired by a dish I perfected during my time in culinary school—it kept the chicken moist and added incredible flavor.

What makes this chicken breast with Boursin extra special is the way the creamy, garlicky cheese melts into every bite.

Paired with the salty crispiness of the prosciutto, it’s simply irresistible. Whether you’re cooking for two or a table full of friends, this Boursin chicken dinner is a guaranteed hit.

Ingredients for Boursin Stuffed Chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5.4-ounce box of Boursin garlic and herb cheese
4-8 slices of prosciutto
1 lemon, optional

How to Make Boursin Stuffed Chicken

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the chicken breasts by cutting a horizontal pocket into each one. Be careful not to cut all the way through—you want the filling securely enclosed.
Season both sides of each chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
Divide the Boursin cheese into four portions. I like to cut the round of cheese into four even half-moon-shaped pieces for easy stuffing.
Stuff one portion of cheese into the pocket of each chicken breast, making sure it’s fully enclosed.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast in 1-2 slices of prosciutto, depending on their size. The prosciutto will adhere to itself, securing the chicken and cheese inside.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 180°F (82°C).
If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving to add a bright, zesty finish.

My Chef Tips for the Best Boursin Stuffed Chicken

Don’t overfill the chicken: Use just enough Boursin cheese to stuff the pocket securely without making it hard to close.
Choose high-quality prosciutto: The better the prosciutto, the crispier and more flavorful it will be.
Pre-searing is key: Browning the chicken before baking locks in moisture and ensures the prosciutto turns crisp.
Use a meat thermometer: For the perfect result, always check the internal temperature to ensure it’s fully cooked without being dry.
Prep ahead: You can assemble the stuffed chicken up to a day in advance and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.
Reheat gently: If you have leftovers, reheat in a low oven (300°F) to preserve the texture of the prosciutto.

Boursin Stuffed Chicken FAQs

Can I use a different cheese for this recipe?

Yes! While Boursin’s creamy, herbaceous flavor is unbeatable, you can substitute garlic cream cheese or herbed goat cheese for a similar effect.

How do I know the chicken is fully cooked?

Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C). The chicken should be white and juicy, not pink, when cut into.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this prosciutto wrapped chicken is naturally gluten-free, as it contains no breadcrumbs or flour.

Can I make this recipe healthier?

You could use turkey bacon in place of prosciutto, though the flavor will differ. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad for a lighter meal.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Store leftover Boursin stuffed chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a low oven to keep the prosciutto crispy.
