Ingredients

For the Chicken

3-4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts medium-sized
8 oz Boursin Cheese garlic and herb variety

For the Crust

1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (parsley, thyme) chopped finely
1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin recommended

For Flavoring

1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper freshly cracked

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Spread the Boursin cheese generously over each chicken breast.
Mix panko breadcrumbs with chopped herbs and a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl until slightly damp.
Press the herb mixture onto the chicken breasts, covering them evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown.

Serving

Optional: Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon for a zesty finish.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken breasts are uniform in size for even cooking. Substitute herbs for variations and use alternative cheeses for unique flavors.
