This is a fantastic way to add a bit of excitement to an otherwise ordinary chicken breast. Stuff the chicken breast with Boursin and then wrap it in rindless bacon. The Boursin is absolutely bursting with flavour, and it makes an impressive dinner party main course and is certain to go down a treat with your guests. You can serve on a bed of boiled rice, or with new potatoes and green vegetables for a healthy spin.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 80g garlic and herb Boursin
- 8 rashers of rindless bacon
- 2tbsp olive oil
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
