BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

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 STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST (ONE PAN MEAL)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Using a small knife, cut a slit lengthwise partway across each chicken breast to create a deep pocket.
• In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, parsley and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. Alternatively you can put the filling into a plastic bag and snip the tip to create a makeshift pastry bag to squeeze the filling into the chicken.
• Season the top of each chicken breast with salt and pepper then wrap 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast.
• Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan; scatter the potatoes around the chicken. Coat the potatoes in cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
• Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes or until bacon is browned and crispy.
• Serve immediately, with chopped parsley as a garnish if desired.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Make a pocket in each of the chicken breasts by slicing down one side, making sure to not slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and a 1/4 the minced garlic. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast and secure in place with toothpicks. The pocket opening should be completely covered.
• Combine onion and remaining garlic in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BACON WRAPPED BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (3/5)

Steps:

• 1Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. 2 Lightly oil an oven proof dish with the teaspoon of olive oil - using a pastry brush is best. 3 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. 4 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. 5 Roll the chicken breasts up - tucking the last small "fillet" flap up and into the stuffed roll. 6 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. 7 Gently lift them into the oiled oven dish. 8 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.). 9 If using the lemon juice, pour over the top of the chicken breasts now. 10 Scatter or arrange the cherry tomatoes around the chicken pieces. (I like to keep them on the vine.). 11 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. 12 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. 13 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! 14 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.).

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cream cheese, chives and Worcestershire sauce and stir until evenly combined. Season the filling with salt and pepper.
• Halve each chicken breast horizontally, leaving it attached at one side so it opens like a book. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then divide the filling among the breasts, spreading it evenly on the inside of each. Close the chicken breasts and sprinkle the outsides lightly with salt and pepper.
• Lay 3 strips of bacon side-by-side on a cutting board and position a chicken breast right-side-up at the end of the strips. Tuck the thinner "tail" of the chicken breast underneath for even cooking, then roll the breast up in the bacon. Repeat with the remaining bacon strips and chicken breasts.
• Set a cooling rack in a rimmed baking sheet and transfer the chicken breasts with the bacon seam-side down to the rack. Bake until the chicken is almost cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of each breast reads 155 degrees F, about 35 minutes. Heat the broiler and broil the breasts until the bacon turns golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
