Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened, plus small pieces for topping
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine Boursin cheese with minced garlic and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld while preparing the chicken.
  2. Butterfly the Chicken Breasts: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally without cutting all the way through. Open the breast like a book to create a flat surface suitable for filling.
  3. Fill and Roll the Chicken: Spoon a generous amount of the Boursin mixture onto one half of each butterflied chicken breast. Carefully fold and roll the chicken over the filling, securing the edges with toothpicks if needed to prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Lightly dust each chicken roll in flour to help the coating stick, then dip into beaten eggs. Press into panko breadcrumbs evenly covering the surface to achieve a crispy crust.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the coated chicken rolls on a baking tray. Dot the tops with small pieces of butter to enhance browning and moisture. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.

Notes

  • Use cold filling to reduce leaking during baking.
  • Secure chicken rolls tightly with toothpicks to keep filling inside.
  • Pat dry chicken breasts before coating for better adhesion and crunch.
  • Let bakes rest a few minutes after baking to preserve juicy flavors.
  • Check internal temperature to ensure chicken is safely cooked.
