Boursin Chicken with Prosciutto
Boursin Chicken with Prosciutto. Succulent chicken, beaten flat and wrapped around buttery Boursin garlic and herb cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, and baked.
Ingredients
- boneless skinless chicken thighs
- thin-sliced prosciutto 1 slice per piece chicken
- Boursin cheese ~1 T per piece chicken
- kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- olive oil to drizzle
- ~1/4 c milk
- garnish: chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Put the chicken between to pieces of plastic wrap and pound the chicken to an even thickness (~1/4″). Season with salt and pepper. Place a good sized dollop (~1 T) on each thigh and roll chicken around. Place seam side down on baking dish. Wrap each in a slice of prosciutto. Drizzle just a little olive oil on each roll and sprinkle a little fresh cracked pepper. Bake at 400, 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- As the chicken cooks, cheese will ooze out all over the pan. So when the chicken is done, gently transfer them to another dish or serving plate. Add a little milk (~1/4 c) to the pan with the melty cheese, and whisk the milk into the cheese and juices to make a sauce. Warm on medium heat whisking to get up all the bits from the chicken. Serve the sauce spooned over the chicken rolls, and sprinkle over some parsley. One serving is 2 chicken thighs.
