Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Make sure they’re even in thickness for even cooking.
  • 5.2 oz Boursin cheese Feel free to swap for cream cheese or herbed goat cheese.
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used; texture may change.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Adds savory depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley Can use dried parsley; reduce to 1 teaspoon.
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme Dried thyme (1 teaspoon) can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary Substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Helps breadcrumbs stick and get extra crispy.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds depth and richness.
  • Salt and pepper Essential seasonings to personalize.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter Ensures a rich, golden-crisp crust.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, and melted butter.
  • Take the chicken breasts and place a generous amount of Boursin cheese inside each one. Fold over to seal.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced out.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure the chicken breasts are even in thickness for uniform cooking. Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your taste preferences. Let the chicken rest after baking to keep it juicy.
