Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces herbed garlic Boursin cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs / almond flour for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Carefully slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts horizontally to create a pocket for stuffing. Ensure the pocket is deep enough to hold the filling but not cut through.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, finely chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Mix well until evenly incorporated for a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Stuff the Chicken: Generously spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken pocket, taking care to keep the filling well-contained to avoid leakage during baking.
- Coat the Chicken: Brush the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts lightly with olive oil. Then, evenly coat each breast with seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere well for a crispy crust.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared chicken breasts on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden brown.
Notes
- Use thin, even cuts of chicken breasts for quick and uniform cooking.
- Chill the stuffed chicken in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking to help the filling set and reduce leakage.
- Avoid overfilling the chicken pockets to prevent the cheese mixture from leaking out during baking.
- Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of traditional breadcrumbs.
