BOURSIN AND PROSCIUTTO-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• With a sharp fillet knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally in each chicken breast (taking care not to cut meat all the way through). The pockets should end up being about 3 inches long by 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep depending on breast size.
• Divide the chilled Boursin into 4 equal pieces. Place 1 piece in the center of each slice of prosciutto and roll up, enclosing the cheese. Stuff one roll inside the pocket of each chicken breast as deeply as possible. Press the edge of chicken pocket to seal. Gently season with salt and pepper. (Chicken breast may be refrigerated for later cooking at this point or individually wrapped and frozen.).
• Combine the flour and the Essence in a large bowl or plate. Beat the egg and the water in another bowl. Take the first breast and dust with flour, then dip in egg mixture. Gently shake to remove excess. Place breast in flour again and flip to coat completely then set aside. Repeat with each.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.* Gently add the chicken and brown on each side for 3 minutes. Place pan in the oven and bake the chicken for 7 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.**.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with Truffle-Scented Mushroom Risotto or other savory side.
• *If you do not have a skillet large enough to hold all 4 breasts at once, you may work in batches, setting aside the first batch and covering with foil to keep warm.
• **If necessary, you may also transfer chicken to a large roasting pan or sheet.

Wrap chicken with a slice of prosciutto and place in a baking dish seam-side down, so the prosciutto doesn't unravel. Repeat with each piece of chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork or knife.

The larger end of the breast should be a sort of cupped shape. Gently open each pocket, pointing the cut edge up, and leaving them on the cutting board. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 slice provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Layer 1 slice prosciutto over cheese, lightly folding it so it does not hang over the edge of the chicken. Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto over each chicken breast and top with tomato pieces. Sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over chicken. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, stuffing-side up.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
