Boursin Chicken Recipes

BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS EASY!

Steps:

• Pound each chicken breast to 1/4" thick. This can be done ahead of time, covered and refrigerated.
• In a pan of boiling water, quickly dip each spinach leaf or basil leaf; drain and set aside.
• Mix the 8 ingredients together for the Boursin cheese; add the walnuts to the cheese mixture, cover at room temperature for at least an hour to blend the flavors.
• Lay the chicken breast flat, season each side with salt and pepper; add the spinach or basil leaves and spread the cheese-walnut mixture to cover each breast.
• Starting at the shortest end of the chicken breast, roll up as tightly as possible and tuck in the ends to form a neat roll, transfer to a greased baking dish and place the chicken breast seam side down; sprinkle with bread crumbs and refrigerate at least 3 hours or over night.
• Bake 350° degrees F. for approximately 30 to 35 minutes or until juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes; slice 1/2 inch thick and serve with a tomato rose and an asparagus and carrot ring garnish.

BOURBON CHICKEN

BEST BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy pan or Dutch oven, and brown the chicken pieces until lightly golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
• In the same dutch oven, whisk the water, brown sugar, 3/4 cup of fruit juice cocktail, soy sauce, ketchup, bourbon liqueur, apple cider vinegar, garlic, dried onion, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger into the Dutch oven. Bring the sauce to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Stir the chicken back into the sauce, and bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened and the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken pieces to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Stir together 1/4 cup of fruit juice cocktail with the cornstarch until smooth, and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the sauce back to a simmer, let thicken for about 1 minute, and return the chicken pieces to the sauce. Stir to combine, and serve.

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 W/ BOURSIN & PARMA HAM

Steps:

• Slice through the chicken breast but not quite right through and stuff each one with some Boursin. Try to reclose the chicken breast so that the cheese won't spill out.
• Lie two slices of Parma Ham next to each other and then lie the stuffed chicken breast on it and wrap it up nice and tight.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy based pan and fry the wrapped chicken on both sides for around 2/3 minutes each side. You just want to brown the Parma Ham.
• Pop into an oven proof open dish (which can be put on the hob later) then splash the wine in to the frying pan to deglaze any juices and then tip over the chicken and pop in the oven.
• This will need cooking for around 20 minutes
• When cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate and keep warm.
• Put the oven proof dish on the hob (don't worry if some Boursin has spilled out!) and add the stock. Bubble away for 5 mins until reduced to half, add a tablespoon of Boursin, mix in and then pour over the chicken.
• Best served with mash and baby veg! Enjoy!
