Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Filling

  • 6 oz Boursin cheese (herb and garlic flavored)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach or vegetables (optional)

Cooking

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Variations (optional add-ins)

  • 2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms with thyme
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach and chopped artichoke hearts
  • 1 small diced jalapeño (for spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Breasts: Trim the chicken breasts and carefully slice horizontally through the thickest part without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for stuffing.
  2. Make the Boursin Filling: In a bowl, combine Boursin cheese with your choice of fresh herbs, cooked spinach, or other optional add-ins. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cheese mixture generously into each chicken pocket. Secure each chicken breast with toothpicks to keep the filling inside during cooking.
  4. Season and Sear: Season the stuffed chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts on each side until golden brown.
  5. Bake Until Done: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the filling is hot and melty.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to create clean, even pockets in the chicken breasts.
  • Don’t overfill the chicken pockets to prevent leaking during cooking.
  • Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to a safe temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before serving to lock in juices.
