Ingredients

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

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Stir the Boursin cheese into the spinach mixture until it melts and becomes creamy.
Step 5: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the creamy spinach mixture evenly over them.
Step 6: Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
Step 7: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden brown.

Tips & Variations

Use a flavored Boursin cheese, such as garlic and herb, to enhance the dish’s taste without extra seasoning.
For an extra crispy topping, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Substitute fresh spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a different green twist.

Storage

Store leftover Boursin Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain the creamy texture, or microwave on medium power in short intervals until warmed through.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cheese and Vegetables

8 oz Boursin cheese (any flavor)
2 cups fresh spinach
3 garlic cloves, minced

Other

2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the chicken from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
Sauté Garlic and Spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until it is wilted, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Melt Boursin Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts into a creamy mixture with the spinach and garlic.
Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.
Pour Cheese Mixture: Pour the creamy spinach and Boursin mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Add Topping: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the chicken and then top with the grated Parmesan cheese to create a crispy crust when baked.
Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the topping turns golden brown.
Rest and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

Notes

You can experiment with different Boursin cheese flavors, such as garlic and herb or cracked black pepper, for varying taste profiles.
For extra crispy topping, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
If fresh spinach isn’t available, baby spinach or frozen spinach (thawed and drained) can be used as alternatives.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly by using a meat thermometer to reach the safe internal temperature.
