SPINACH AND BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ALFREDO SAUCE
This is not a recipe for you, if you are on a diet, I made this one up a while ago and it is very rich, full of flavours, but not exactly the lowest fat content in the world. I served mine with mashed parsnip and vegetables, but it also good over pasta which I have done as well.

Steps:
- With a meat mallet pound chicken until it is about the same thickness all over.
- Heat a little oil in a pan, add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft. In a small pan cook bacon until browned.
- In a large Saucepan bring some water to the boil, add spinach and cook until spinach wilts, drain, rinse under cold water, squeeze out any excess liquid.
- In a bowl combine spinach, mushrooms, bacon and boursin, mix until it is well combined. ( there should be enough heat left from mushrooms, to soften cheese, to mix evenly, if not just zap it for 20-30 seconds in the microwave, to make it easy to combine.).
- Dived mixture evenly between 4 breasts, Laying it on one half of the breast roll the other half over the top to cover and secure with tooth picks.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish, place chicken in, drizzle a little more oil over the top of each breast, bake in a pre-heated oven 180c, for about 40-50 Min's or until chicken is cooked. (cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the breast.
- For the Sauce:.
- In a sauce pan add cream, butter and garlic powder, heat through making sure butter has melted, add Parmesan cheese, cream cheese and pepper to taste.
- Simmer on a low heat 15-20 Min's, This allows the cheese to be well and truly melted and really brings out the taste, the longer you simmer the sauce for, the more tasty it will be, just remember to stir from time to time.
- To serve cut chicken in half place on plate and pour sauce over. Alternatively slice chicken into pieces place on top of pasta and pour sauce over. MMmmmmm.
CHICKEN STUFFED WITH BOURSIN CHEESE AND SPINACH
I created this recipe years ago, and during the past year have seen similar ones in newer cookbooks. While the recipe calls for Boursin cheese, I made it recently with the Tipsy Boursin Cheese recipe posted on this site and it is just as good as when made with the real thing. The stuffing also makes wonderful stuffed mushrooms. I prefer to take the breast off the bone so the spinach is lightly cooked, but it can be made with the bone in - just bake it longer. Use the type of spinach you would buy for a salad and serve it with Jasmine or Basmati rice.

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.

SPINACH ALFREDO SAUCE (BETTER THAN OLIVE GARDEN®)
Better than Olive Garden®! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo everyone will love. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it! Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese.

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!

Steps:
- Dip spinach leaves briefly in boiling water to blanch; drain and towel dry.
- Pound chicken breasts evenly between 2 sheets plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick being careful not to tear or break through the flesh. Season chicken with salt and pepper, cover with blanched spinach; spread with Boursin cheese, tuck in sides and roll up stuffed chicken as tightly as possible.
- Refrigerate seam side down in a greased baking dish covered for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake brush the stuffed rolled chicken with melted butter, roll in bread crumbs and bake at 350F gas mark 4. 180 degree C for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick servings.
- to make the boursin cheese combine cream cheese, garlic, parsley, chives, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and walnuts. Cover at room temperature for at least an hour or overnight to blend flavors.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the chicken breasts and the Boursin cheese. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin. Just be sure to place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap before pounding, so that you don't tear the meat.
- If you don't have Alfredo sauce, you can make your own by following a simple recipe online. Or, you can use a jarred Alfredo sauce, but be sure to doctor it up with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a little bit of garlic powder.
- Garnish the finished dish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Spinach and Boursin Stuffed Chicken with Alfredo Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, the Boursin cheese filling is creamy and tangy, and the Alfredo sauce is rich and decadent. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
