Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb flavor)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in the thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the chicken breasts inside and out with the salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with approximately 2 tablespoons of Boursin cheese, spreading it evenly inside.
Secure the pockets with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from leaking out during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve the chicken hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or alongside your favorite side dishes.
