List of Ingredients




(can be made 1 day ahead)
Boursin Cheese (recipe follows, or make it easy... simply buy a commerical brand)
Spinach leaves, enough to cover each breast
2 large sheets plastic wrap
2 chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs


Recipe



Prepare Boursin or purchase a commercial brand.

Dip spinach leaves briefly in boiling water to blanch; drain and towel dry. Pound breasts evenly between 2 sheets plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick being careful not to tear or break through the flesh. Season with salt and pepper, cover with blanched spinach; spread with Boursin, tuck in sides and roll up stuffed chicken breast as tightly as possible. Refrigerate seam side down in a greased baking dish covered for at least 3 hours or overnight.

When ready to bake brush the stuffed rolls with melted butter, roll in bread crumbs and bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until completely cooked. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick servings.

Serve with a tomato rose garnish, if desired. The garnish can be made a day ahead, simply cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
