Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (even thickness for even cooking)
5.2 oz Boursin cheese (or cream cheese / herbed goat cheese)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the Coating
In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the Chicken
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Stuff evenly with Boursin cheese. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Coat the Chicken
Brush each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil. Press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Arrange & Drizzle
Place the coated chicken into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over the top for extra crispiness.
Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest & Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
Notes
Pound chicken breasts slightly if they are uneven to ensure even cooking.
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
Letting the chicken rest keeps the cheese from spilling out too quickly.
Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
