Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 6 oz each)
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavour is recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (100g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  3. Season chicken both inside and out with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon Boursin cheese evenly onto one side of each chicken breast and fold over to encase the filling; secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Set up three shallow dishes for flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  6. Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally cover with breadcrumbs.
  7. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook each breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
