How to Make Bacon Wrapped Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breasts A Deux

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Butterfly the chicken breasts: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each breast, creating a pocket. Do not cut all the way through.
3. Stuff the chicken: Spread 2 ounces of Boursin cheese evenly into each chicken breast pocket.
4. Wrap with bacon: Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon or pancetta, securing with toothpicks.
5. Prepare the vegetables: Toss 1 pint of cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
6. Roast: Place the chicken breasts and cherry tomatoes in a roasting pan. Roast for 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
7. Make the sauce (optional): Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of creme fraiche and 1/4 cup of dry white wine to the pan drippings. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
8. Serve: Serve the chicken breasts immediately with the roasted cherry tomatoes, your favorite seasonal vegetables, and a baked potato. Drizzle with the optional white wine sauce.
