4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose fresh chicken for the best flavor and texture.
1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin garlic and herb cheese This creamy cheese is the star of the dish, providing rich flavor.
1 tablespoon Olive oil Helps to keep the chicken moist while cooking.
to taste Salt Use to season the chicken to your taste.
to taste Pepper Use to season the chicken to your taste.
optional Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) For added freshness and color.
as needed Toothpicks or kitchen twine To secure the chicken after stuffing it with cheese.

Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, scoop the Boursin cheese and mix in any optional fresh herbs. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Stuff each chicken pocket with a generous spoonful of the Boursin cheese mixture and secure the openings with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

This dish is versatile and can be customized with different cheeses or cooking methods.
