A quick and easy baked chicken breast stuffed with creamy herbed Boursin cheese and wrapped in crispy prosciutto, perfect for weekday dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz / 170–225 g each)
  • 4 oz (115 g) Boursin cheese, herbed garlic and fine herbs variety
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto (2 per chicken breast)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish or mixing into cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through. Pound thicker breasts to about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thickness if needed.
  3. Lightly sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper inside each pocket and on the outside of the chicken breasts.
  4. Divide the Boursin cheese evenly among the chicken pockets, spreading it inside without overflowing.
  5. Lay two slices of prosciutto on a clean surface, slightly overlapping. Place one stuffed chicken breast on top and wrap the prosciutto snugly around the chicken, tucking ends underneath. Repeat for all breasts.
  6. Lightly brush the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts with olive oil to encourage crisping and golden color.
  7. Arrange the wrapped chicken breasts seam side down in a baking dish.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the prosciutto is crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  10. Slice carefully if desired, garnish with fresh herbs if using, and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overstuff the chicken to prevent cheese leakage. Use thin prosciutto slices for best crispness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Let chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. If prosciutto isn’t crisping enough, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
