Directions
Bacon Wrapped Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breasts – a Deux!, Delicious chicken breasts, wrapped in bacon or pancetta to ensure they remain moist, stuffed with Boursin garlic & herb cheese and then roasted with cherry tomatoes on the vine……delectable! I have posted this recipe for two – obviously it is VERY easy to increase the quantities for more people. Serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables & a jacket potato for an all year round simple & impressive supper dish. These can be frozen at the stuffed and bacon wrapped stage – I often have at least a dozen, individually wrapped in cling film in the freezer. They take about 4-5 hours to defrost, so make sure you take them out of the freezer in time! A tip: I sometimes add a dollop of creme fraiche and a little white wine to the juices, to make an unctious wine sauce – this is optional, but delicious if you fancy a creamy sauce with these stuffed chicken breasts., YUMMMEE I don’t know why anyone would give the recipe anything less then 5 stars because if you cook well this recipe would be 10 at least. This recipe was our valentines dinner last night and it made me regret not finding last year. I should have added more tomatoes. used home made cream fraiache and tripled the recipe thankfully because it wasn’t that difficult to make yet we have enough for 2 more dinners and cannot wait. This recipe should be in every bodies house. Truly made our evening very very nice. I followed the recipe to a “T” I did sprinkle a a pinch of seasoning salt over the chicken. We loved this dish and it will be a staple.
