• 3. Heat oil in large oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken in skillet to oven; bake 12 minutes or until done (internal temp 170 degrees F).

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.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED CHICKEN AND BOURSIN BUNDLES

Steps:

• One at a time, place chicken breasts in an unsealed, gallon-size plastic bag. Place flat on work surface. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten each piece to about 1/4-inch thick.
• Divide cheese spread into quarters.
• Place chicken breasts on a work surface and place piece of cheese in center of each. Fold all 4 sides of each breast over cheese to form a flat 4-1/2x 2-1/2 inch bundle. Wrap each bundle with a piece of Prosciutto. Bundles can be covered and refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
• When ready to cook, melt butter in large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is foamy, add chicken bundles, seam-side down. Use tongs to turn bundles, browning them all over. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, and no longer pink.

BOURSIN AND PROSCIUTTO-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• With a sharp fillet knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally in each chicken breast (taking care not to cut meat all the way through). The pockets should end up being about 3 inches long by 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep depending on breast size.
• Divide the chilled Boursin into 4 equal pieces. Place 1 piece in the center of each slice of prosciutto and roll up, enclosing the cheese. Stuff one roll inside the pocket of each chicken breast as deeply as possible. Press the edge of chicken pocket to seal. Gently season with salt and pepper. (Chicken breast may be refrigerated for later cooking at this point or individually wrapped and frozen.).
• Combine the flour and the Essence in a large bowl or plate. Beat the egg and the water in another bowl. Take the first breast and dust with flour, then dip in egg mixture. Gently shake to remove excess. Place breast in flour again and flip to coat completely then set aside. Repeat with each.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.* Gently add the chicken and brown on each side for 3 minutes. Place pan in the oven and bake the chicken for 7 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.**.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with Truffle-Scented Mushroom Risotto or other savory side.
• *If you do not have a skillet large enough to hold all 4 breasts at once, you may work in batches, setting aside the first batch and covering with foil to keep warm.
• **If necessary, you may also transfer chicken to a large roasting pan or sheet.
