Bacon Wrapped Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breasts - a Deux!

This was very good, but I did take some liberties. Used 'no name' garlic/herb soft cheese, which was excellent but might have been a tad too soft/melty. And I subbed center-cut bacon -- the chicken was done before the bacon was crispy. I will either broil briefly before serving, or will try again with bacon the recipie calls for. I used about 1-2 T. heavy whipping cream & a generous amount of white wine for sauce to get bits from pan, that was great. Oh - one other item -- put 2x the cherry tomatoes you think you'll want in the pan, they go SUPER with this. Thanks for sharing this recipie!

The whole family loved this dish! Not an easy task in my household. I used garlic herb brie as the cheese, always seem to have that in frig.;) Worked wonderfully. I used San Marzano tomatoes cut in quarters to sub for the cherry tomatoes- boy were they delicious. Don’t get me wrong I loved the chicken but the tomatoes with the sauce were out of this world- I could have just eaten those and have a fabulous meal

Awesome, French Tart! I was feeling a lack of confidence in my cooking lately after a slew of mediocre dinners and needed to up the ante. I found this recipe and redeemed myself to my husband and toddler :) Thank you for that! I followed the recipe to a "T" and broiled it for 3 minutes at the end to crisp the bacon and pop some of the delicious cherry tomatoes. I didn't make reduce the sauce, but poured it over the chicken and side of risotto and spinach. A From now on I'm going to you for truly excellent recipes!

This is an excellent recipe. I made it for a Mother's Day gathering of 8 and received rave reviews from everyone. I used the homemade boursin cheese substitute recipe that I also found on this website which worked out beautifully. I baked the chicken in a 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes and then turned the oven to broil for about 5 minutes to crisp the bacon. I didn't bother with the sauce and thought it was perfect as is.

Gorgeous! I found that the chicken needed a lot less cooking time, in my fan oven at 160 it took about 25 mins so maybe check your chicken before the end of the time specified here. I added some chopped baby leeks to the tray with the tomatoes and sprinkled oregano, salt and pepper over these, and some chopped thyme with olive oil on the chicken. I served the chicken and veg with a tomato risotto, a baby spinach and pine nut salad, and some garlic bread. My guests loved it. Great recipe thank you!

The chicken was so tender and the flavors of the bacon and sauce were great. I only had large tomatoes and can see the cherry ones would be better.

Excellent. I 1 1/2d the recipe for 3 of us and used 2 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream that I had on hand with white wine for the sauce. Delicious! I can see why you make extra to freeze, that is what I intend to do next time.

When I saw the recipe I was thinking it could go either way - ie love it or hate it. My husband dug into the dish first and said it is amazing!! He loved the tomatoes. They cooked up beautifully. The only thing I did differently was instead of reducing the sauce with wine I used a little chicken stock. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

Outstanding! It looks much more difficult to make than it really is. Ideal main course for a dinner party, but simple enough to serve on a weeknight. I was supposed take before and after pictures, but after taking it out of the oven we totally forgot. It looked soooo good, we just dug right in :) Thank you.

This recipe is so simple and really is wonderful for the little amount of effort that is needed. I didn't have boursin so I used a cheap tub of Garlic and Herb soft cheese from LIDL (69p) which worked great. It was a 150g , so I used the lot which meant that some of the cheese was spilling out of the chicken when I rolled it, but it just created more sauce! I didn't have cherry tomatoes so I used 3 large tomatoes quartered, which was lovely as the tomatoes and juices cooked down into the sauce. I served it with slightly cajun flavoured potato wedges and mediteranean roasted vegetables! Lush!!!!!!

For me these were just ok. I love Boursin, but I really couldn't taste the flavor of the cheese after the dish was cooked. It was just like a plain chicken dish. It was good, just didn't live up to my expectation.

I love boursin cheese. The dinner looked great and I was really looking forward to it after all the amazing reviews. I made four breasts: two with prosciutto and two with bacon. It was good but not great. I would not go through the effort to make it again.

This is one of those recipes where I really want to be able to give half a star. It was very good but not one of my favorites. When looking for a rolled/stuffed chicken recipe I'd probably just stick to a chicken cordon bleu instead, not because this recipe was bad but because we prefer it more. I used prosciutto instead of regular bacon.

Words fail me. I made this today following the recipe completely, with the exception of the tomatoes since we have an allergy to them. I don't think I've ever tasted anything so comforting, so scrumptious, so rib-sticking, so delightful, so creamy, so heavenly... ever in my life. I'm food-drunk. I honestly can't thank you enough French Tart, and believe me when I say I will be following your every recipe. The only mistake I made was making a twice-baked potato, with shallots. The creme fraiche/white wine sauce on it was just too good. Can a person die from something being too delicious? I'm going to go lie down now as I'm in a food coma. This is the best possible way to go.

UPDATE: It's now been over a year or two since I first discovered this recipe. Still insanely delicious, easy, and my go-to for guests. Easily one of my favorite things to eat.

great recipe! we loved the flavors. i made it ahead and let my husband put it in the oven. he put it in for the whole 45 minutes, so our chicken wasn't as tender as i would have liked. next time, it will be cooked loooow and slooooow.

SOOO good and so easy! I will definitely make this on a regular basis. I used pancetta, and didn't add any salt at all, and it was amazing. I served it with rice and sopped up the sauce with foccacia and I STILL wanted to lick the plate.
