CHICKEN WITH BOURSIN WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Special equipment: Bamboo skewers
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season chicken with pepper and garlic powder. "Weave" a bamboo skewer through the length of each chicken strip (as you would run a straight pin through fabric). Divide the cheese into even amounts for the chicken strips and spread on the surface of the chicken. Then wrap each chicken strip with a slice of the prosciutto and place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake until done.

CHICKEN STUFFED WITH BOURSIN CHEESE AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a baking dish that will hold all four breasts, such as a 13 x 9 pan.
• Make stuffing: Wash and dry spinach. Roughly chop the spinach and place into a medium size bowl. Using a fork or your hands, mash the spinach and cheese together until the spinach is coated with the cheese and most of the lumps are gone.
• Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Slide your fingers under the chicken skin to loosen it, leaving some of the membrane intact so it will better hold the stuffing.
• Lightly drizzle olive oil on the bottom of the pan, and lay the chicken breasts skin-side up on top of the oil.
• Dividing the stuffing evenly between them, stuff the breasts. Using the opening you made with your fingers, gently push the spinach/cheese mixture under the skin, working it around so it looks attractive.
• Drizzle the skin lightly with olive oil.
• Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• If you have extra stuffing, bake it in a small greased dish for about 25 minutes.
• Check the chicken after 30 minutes and lay a piece of foil over the pan if it is getting too brown.

BOURSIN CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet until butter is melted. Add seasoned chicken thighs and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
• Turn chicken and continue cooking about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle sliced shallots over the chicken thighs, cover, and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the thighs reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 9 minutes more.
• Remove chicken to a plate or serving platter and keep warm.
• Stir cream into the pan drippings and add Boursin, breaking it into pieces. Increase heat to medium. Stir and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over cooked chicken thighs and garnish with snipped chives, if desired. Serve warm.
