CHICKEN W/BOURSIN CHEESE IN ROASTED RED PEPPER SAU
Steps:
- Prepare the roasted red pepper sauce first by lightly coating the peppers in olive oil. Place in a 475 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Allow to cool and remove skins. Puree in a blender until smooth (add a little olive oil for consistency). Next, butterfly the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper. Spread over the entire chicken breast. Fold over and secure with string. Place in a pan and brown both sides. Once brown, take the chicken breasts out of the pan and place in a non-stick roasting pan. Cover with the roasted red pepper sauce. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. I serve this with smashed garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
BOURSIN AND BACON ON CRACKED PEPPER BREAD
Steps:
- Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 3 ounces of Boursin cheese.
- Cut each bacon slice in half lengthwise. Place 2 pieces of bacon (4 halves) on top of each of the Boursin-prepared slices of bread.

Cook until golden and crusty, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully turn and cook until second side is golden, about 1-2 minutes more.
