Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz Boursin cheese (any flavor)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted.
  3. Melt Boursin Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts and combines into a creamy sauce with the spinach and garlic.
  4. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Add Sauce: Pour the creamy spinach and Boursin cheese mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Top with Breadcrumbs and Cheese: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken, then top with the grated Parmesan cheese to create a crunchy topping.
  7. 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 topping is golden brown.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked but still juicy.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a variation.
  • You can experiment with different Boursin cheese flavors such as garlic & fine herbs or shallot & chive.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently to maintain sauce creaminess.
