Chicken With Boursin Cheese Recipes

BOURSIN-STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken until 1/4" thick. Pat dry and liberally season it with salt and pepper on both sides. Place a spoonful or two of Boursin on one end of each piece, top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and roll the chicken up, starting at the cheese-topped end. Wrap chicken with a slice of prosciutto and place in a baking dish seam-side down, so the prosciutto doesn't unravel. Repeat with each piece of chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork or knife.

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.
