Ingredients for Amazing Chicken

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Boursin Cheese
  • 2 slices bacon

How to Make Amazing Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Flatten each of the 2 chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Spread 1 ounce (approximately 1/4 cup shredded) of your favorite cheese onto each flattened chicken breast.
  4. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice of bacon.
  5. Tightly roll up each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  6. Place the chicken rolls seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
