Best 4 Boursin Filled Chicken Breasts 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.

BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally through each piece, leaving all sides, except the opening intact.
• Season the exteriors with salt and pepper, and place 1/4 of the cheese in the center of each breast. I cut the round of cheese in half from top to bottom, then cut horizontally to make 4 half-moon-shaped pieces of cheese.
• Wrap each breast with a slice or two of prosciutto, depending on the size of the breasts. It will adhere to itself as you wrap.
• Drizzle some olive oil into a large skillet and heat the pan. Add chicken and brown on each side.
• Then move the chicken to the oven and cook until the chicken reaches 180 degrees, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice if desired and serve.

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.

BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and have a baking pan greased and ready to go.
• If you haven't already pounded your chicken breast halves, do so now- they need to be 1/4" thin.
• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil.
• Using tongs, briefly dip spinach leaves one at a time into the boiling water to blanch- just a few seconds each leaf or they will get soggy- they should still be mostly raw.
• Pat dry and set aside on a plate.
• Pour finely chopped nuts into a small bowl and roll each chunk of boursin cheese in the nuts to coat and set aside (discard extra nuts that don't stick to cheese).
• Lay pounded chicken breasts on top of a sheet of wax paper on your counter and season both sides of each breast half with some of the salt& pepper (to taste).
• Set 1 well dried blanched spinach leaf on top of each piece of chicken, trimming with kitchen shears if needed so the spinach doesn't extend over the edge of the chicken piece.
• Next,place a nut coated cheese chunk on top of each chicken piece in the center.
• Fold chicken ends up over the cheese to make a bundle, securing with toothpicks if needed.
• Set chicken rolls in a greased baking pan and cover with foil (season with more salt& pepper to taste).
• Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked all the way through.
• Meanwhile,combine wine,dressing,and jam in a small skillet.
• Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half (this may take several minutes- be patient and don't be tempted to raise the heat to quicken the process).
• If the sauce is ready before the chicken, simply remove from burner and reheat slightly before pouring over the cooked chicken.
• If you like, decorate each plate with a garnish of fresh rasperries and a few sprigs of fresh green herbs (optional step).
• Remove cooked cooked chicken to serving plates,with raspberry sauce ladled over the top (removing toothpicks before serving) and garnished if desired.
