Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup cooked and chopped lobster meat
- 1/2 cup Boursin cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the chicken breasts like a book and pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the lobster meat, Boursin cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives, and tarragon. Spread the mixture evenly onto one side of each of the chicken breasts. Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the stuffing and secure with toothpicks.
4. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture to coat.
5. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, bring the white wine to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes or until reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and cream and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
8. To serve, remove the toothpicks from the chicken and slice each breast into thick pieces. Spoon the Boursin cheese sauce over the chicken and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
