Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz Boursin cheese (any flavor)
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Coating and Toppings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Garlic and Spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.
- Create Creamy Mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts and combines smoothly with the spinach and garlic.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the creamy spinach and Boursin mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken followed by a layer of grated Parmesan cheese for a crispy, flavorful crust.
- Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumb topping turns golden brown.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are of similar size for even cooking.
- You can use any flavor of Boursin cheese to adjust the taste profile.
- For a crispier topping, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
