Boursin Stuffed Chicken
This Boursin stuffed chicken features juicy chicken breasts filled with creamy Boursin cheese and wrapped in crispy prosciutto, making it an easy yet impressive dinner option.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for drizzling
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 5.4-ounce box Boursin garlic and herb cheese
- 4-8 slices of prosciutto
- 1 lemon, optional
Instructions
- 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.
