Boursin cheese, available at most supermarkets, is one of our favourite shortcut ingredients. When cooked, it melts into an instant herb and garlic-infused sauce. Here, we’ve used it to stuff chicken breasts, then wrapped them in parma ham, adding wine and stock to keep the chicken tender and make the sauce even tastier.

Ingredients
75g
Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Gourmet Cheese
2Tbsp.
finely chopped curly parsley, plus extra to garnish
Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
4
chicken breast fillets
4
slices parma ham
100ml
dry white wine
100ml
chicken stock
2
thyme sprigs, leaves removed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. In a bowl, mix together the Boursin, parsley and lemon zest. Make a horizontal cut in each chicken breast, then stuff each with a quarter of the cheese mix. Wrap a parma ham slice horizontally around each breast, covering the cheese, then put seam-side down in an ovenproof dish.
Step 2
Pour over the wine and stock, drop in the thyme, then season well with black pepper. Bake for 25-30min until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with vegetables and crushed new potatoes to soak up the cooking juices.
If you can't get hold of Boursin, you can use any garlic and herb flavoured cream cheese you like.
