Serves 2
Stuffed
Chicken Breasts
(can be made 1 day
ahead)
Boursin Cheese (recipe
follows, or make it easy... simply buy a commerical brand)
Spinach leaves, enough to cover each
breast
2 large sheets plastic wrap
2 chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
Prepare Boursin or purchase a commercial brand.
Dip spinach leaves briefly in boiling
water to blanch; drain and towel dry. Pound breasts
evenly between 2 sheets plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick being careful not to tear or break
through the flesh. Season with salt and pepper, cover with blanched
spinach; spread with Boursin, tuck in sides and roll up stuffed chicken breast as tightly as possible. Refrigerate seam side down in a greased baking
dish covered for at least 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to
bake brush the stuffed rolls with melted butter, roll in bread
crumbs and bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until completely cooked. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch
thick servings. This stuffed entree goes well with buttered
noodles or steamed potatoes with truffle
oil.
Serve with a tomato
rose garnish,
if desired. The
garnish
can be made a day ahead, simply cover and
refrigerate until ready to serve.
