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.

Steps:
- Special equipment: Bamboo skewers
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Season chicken with pepper and garlic powder. "Weave" a bamboo skewer through the length of each chicken strip (as you would run a straight pin through fabric). Divide the cheese into even amounts for the chicken strips and spread on the surface of the chicken. Then wrap each chicken strip with a slice of the prosciutto and place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake until done.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a sharp fillet knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally in each chicken breast (taking care not to cut meat all the way through). The pockets should end up being about 3 inches long by 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep depending on breast size.
- Divide the chilled Boursin into 4 equal pieces. Place 1 piece in the center of each slice of prosciutto and roll up, enclosing the cheese. Stuff one roll inside the pocket of each chicken breast as deeply as possible. Press the edge of chicken pocket to seal. Gently season with salt and pepper. (Chicken breast may be refrigerated for later cooking at this point or individually wrapped and frozen.).
- Combine the flour and the Essence in a large bowl or plate. Beat the egg and the water in another bowl. Take the first breast and dust with flour, then dip in egg mixture. Gently shake to remove excess. Place breast in flour again and flip to coat completely then set aside. Repeat with each.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.* Gently add the chicken and brown on each side for 3 minutes. Place pan in the oven and bake the chicken for 7 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.**.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with Truffle-Scented Mushroom Risotto or other savory side.
- *If you do not have a skillet large enough to hold all 4 breasts at once, you may work in batches, setting aside the first batch and covering with foil to keep warm.
- **If necessary, you may also transfer chicken to a large roasting pan or sheet.

Tips for Making Boursin and Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- To ensure the chicken breasts cook evenly, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness before stuffing and rolling.
- For a crispy outer layer, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried herbs before baking.
- To prevent the Boursin cheese from leaking out during baking, use a toothpick to secure the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts closed.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
- Store the leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
