Cheesy Breezy Stuffed Chicken

4
(1)

6 Boneless/ Skinless Chicken Breasts

5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Herb Cheese

6 Tbs Bacon (Cooked & Crumbled)

4 Tbs Unsalted Butter (Melted)

2.75 Oz “Everything” Ritz Crackers (1 Sleeve of Crackers)

Smoked Sea Salt

Black Pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butterfly the chicken breasts. Place the butterflied breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and gently pound the breasts with a mallet. They should be about 1/4 inch thick. Be careful not to go too far here. Too much can change the texture of the chicken breasts and make them too thin to hold the filling.

Lightly dust the butterflied chicken breasts with smoked sea salt and pepper. Divide the Boursin cheese evenly among the 6 chicken breasts, using a knife or small offset spatula to spread the cheese evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle a tablespoon (or more if you’d like) of crumbled bacon over on top of the cheese. Roll each butterflied chicken breast up like a jelly roll. As you roll, gently tuck the thinner end of the chicken breast into the roll. You want the rolls to be as evenly thick as possible- tucking in the thinner end while you roll will help with that. Once rolled, insert three toothpicks through the chicken to help keep the rolls together while they cook.

Crush the ritz crackers. Brush each chicken roll with butter and roll in the crushed Ritz crackers. Once all six are encrusted in the crackers, dust the tops with a little more smoked sea salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Remove the toothpicks prior to serving.
