Indulge in a culinary symphony of flavors with our bacon-wrapped, Boursin-stuffed chicken breasts, a dish that elevates the classic chicken dinner to a gourmet experience. Prepared with tender, juicy chicken breasts, savory bacon, and a creamy, flavorful Boursin cheese filling, this recipe promises a delightful combination of textures and tastes.
Accompanying this main course are three irresistibly delicious sauces: a rich and creamy mushroom sauce, a tangy and herbaceous salsa verde, and a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce. Each sauce complements the chicken perfectly, offering a unique flavor profile that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you prefer the earthy notes of mushrooms, the vibrant freshness of herbs, or the smoky sweetness of barbecue, these sauces will elevate your dining experience.
BOURSIN CHEESE AND BACON STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS - FOR TWO!
A romantic & delectable dinner for two! Serve vineyard-style with a crusty baguette for mopping the juices--you may want to double the sauce, it's so good. May be frozen, at the stuffed stage, which makes this a great make-ahead dish. I usually keep several on hand in the freezer. Note: You could easily sub cream cheese, feta or chevre cheese for the boursin, and add your own favorite fresh or dry herbs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F/190°C.
- Add the 3 tablespoons olive oil to a baking dish, tilting to coat.
- Warm 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the proscuitto or bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from heat.
- Place each breast between a large sheet of cling wrap and lay on a cutting board. Gently pound each breast with a cook's mallet until flat and thin (about 1/4 inch thick). Be careful not to tear the chicken. Remove wrap.
- Lay the chicken breasts flat on the cutting board and evenly spread the Boursin cheese & the proscuitto onto one side of each breast, all the way to the edges.
- Roll up the chicken breasts jelly-roll style, starting with the narrow end and roll firmly, tucking in ends to form a neat roll.
- Gently place them into the oiled baking dish, seam side down.
- Arrange the tomatoes, haricots verts, and shallots around the chicken.
- Place a thyme sprig onto each breast.
- Drizzle with wine and squeeze fresh lemon juice over all, then sprinkle with lemon zest, a small pinch of salt over the vegetables, and the pepper.
- Place in the center of a pre-heated oven and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve vineyard-style with a crusty baguette for mopping the juices.
- To Freeze:.
- Immediately after stuffing and rolling, wrap individually in cling wrap and place into an airtight container or freezer bag. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed above. May be frozen for up to 3 months.

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.

BACON WRAPPED BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS - A DEUX!
Delicious chicken breasts, wrapped in bacon or pancetta to ensure they remain moist, stuffed with Boursin garlic & herb cheese and then roasted with cherry tomatoes on the vine......delectable! I have posted this recipe for two - obviously it is VERY easy to increase the quantities for more people. Serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables & a jacket potato for an all year round simple & impressive supper dish. These can be frozen at the stuffed and bacon wrapped stage - I often have at least a dozen, individually wrapped in cling film in the freezer. They take about 4-5 hours to defrost, so make sure you take them out of the freezer in time! A tip: I sometimes add a dollop of creme fraiche and a little white wine to the juices, to make an unctious wine sauce - this is optional, but delicious if you fancy a creamy sauce with these stuffed chicken breasts.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
- Lightly oil an oven proof dish with the teaspoon of olive oil - using a pastry brush is best.
- Place one chicken breast between a large piece of cling film and gently beat it with a cook's mallet - beating until large and fairly thin - try NOT make any holes in the chicken! Repeat with the second chicken breast.
- Place the chicken breasts on a work board and spread half the Boursin cheese on each chicken piece - make sure it is spread evenly right up to the edges.
- Roll the chicken breasts up - tucking the last small "fillet" flap up and into the stuffed roll.
- Wrap the bacon pieces or pancetta ham around the stuffed chicken, making sure they do not overlap too much and the edges are sealed underneath.
- Gently lift them into the oiled oven dish.
- Season well with freshly ground black pepper. (Season with salt to taste - the bacon will make it quite salty, so watch out when seasoning with salt.).
- If using the lemon juice, pour over the top of the chicken breasts now.
- Scatter or arrange the cherry tomatoes around the chicken pieces. (I like to keep them on the vine.).
- Place in the middle of a pre-heated oven and roast for between 45 - 55 minutes; the cooking time depends on the size of the chicken breasts and your oven.
- Remove from the oven and place the chicken breasts on a plate - you can serve them whole or sliced. Garnish with watercress, as well as the roasted cherry tomatoes.
- Serve with a selection of seasonal fresh vegetables and a jacket potato, making sure you spoon the excess Boursin sauce over the top of the chicken pieces and the roasted cherry tomatoes!
- Tip:You can make an optional creamy sauce. On taking the chicken out of the oven, add the creme fraiche and white wine to the Boursin cooking juices in the oven dish, whisk together and then gently heat, whisking all the time, over medium heat on top of the stove, or decant the creme fraiche, wine and juices to a small saucepan and heat the sauce in the pan. (Make sure to keep the chicken warm whilst you do this.).
- TO FREEZE:.
- As soon as you have stuffed and wrapped the bacon around the beaten chicken breasts, wrap individually in cling film and put into a freezer container or a freezer bag. Take them out as required and allow to defrost for 4-5 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
- Cook as above.
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months with no adverse effects on the Boursin cheese.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for fresh, flavorful chicken breasts, high-quality bacon, and a creamy, flavorful Boursin cheese.
- Season the chicken breasts generously. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Don't overcook the chicken breasts. They should be cooked through, but still juicy and tender. Cook them over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest before serving. This will help to keep them juicy and flavorful. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped Boursin stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of crispy bacon, creamy Boursin cheese, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
