Boursin Chicken Parcels

I have cooked this for family and friends and it is always a winner with them, often with requests for it on their next visit!

1. 1

   1. Put the spinach leaves in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and pierce. Blast in the microwave for 10 seconds, repeat until reduced and will break up when stirred with a fork. Add some of the boursin to the spinach and mix. Add more and mix until you have the right consistency. I usually use most of the boursin but have never wieghed how much I use. You need it to get to a thick creamy but not runny consistency.
   
   2. Make a deep slit along one side of each chicken breast so that you have a nice big pocket for the mixture to go in. Spoon the mixture into the pocket.
   
   3. Lay 4 slices of bacon on some baking foil and place a chicken breast on the bacon, lift up the sides of the bacon and wrap the chicken. Make a parcel using the foil to hold the juices while cooking. Do this with each breast.
   
   4. Place the chicken parcels on a baking tray and place in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6 for 30-35 mins or until the juices of the chicken run clear. I cook on gas mark 6, but this may vary with different ovens.
   
   5. Serve and enjoy! I like to serve these tasty parcels with mushrooms and peppers on a bed of rice with salad and garlic bread. I like to drizzle some of the cooking juice over the rice to give it some extra flavour. But it is an incredibly versatile dish and can be adjusted in many ways to suit all tastes, it also works very well with parma ham instead of bacon.
