Description
Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breast is an elegant yet simple recipe combining tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts stuffed with creamy, herb-infused Boursin cheese and sautéed spinach.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz Boursin cheese (herb-infused)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, sautéed and drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through to create a pouch for the filling.
- In a bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, sautéed spinach, minced garlic, and lemon zest if using. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all flavors.
- Using a spoon, fill each chicken breast pocket generously with the cheese and spinach mixture. Press the edges gently to seal the filling inside.
- Lightly season the outside of each stuffed chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffed chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and the cheese filling is warm and melty.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
- Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
