This past weekend a friend asked me about a recipe for bacon wrapped chicken breasts.  Of which I did not have.  Prosciutto, yes.  Bacon, no.  So you can see how that would lead to obsessive Internet searches, hours pouring over my personal library of cookbooks and cooking magazines, even a trip to the bookstore.

What came of it was several worthy recipes and a healthy appetite.  One of the recipes called for Boursin, which I had just recently purchased for my Salmon en Croute, so I thought I would give it a go. 

I must say that this stuffed chicken breast has more than Boursin in common with the Salmon en Croute.  They both use very few ingredients, are a breeze to put together and are complete stunners on the plate.  To say this did not disappoint would be an understatement.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Boursin

• 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• Boursin cheese
• 4 strips of bacon

Place chicken in plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2″ thickness.  Schmear with Boursin cheese.  Roll chicken up, tucking and neatening as necessary.  Wrap each breast with two strips of bacon.  Sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper.  Place in a buttered/oiled oven proof dish and bake, uncovered,  at 375F for 45-55 minutes.

Juicy, crispy, creamy, yummy.  Easy.
