bacon and boursin stuffed chicken

The boursin and bacon stuffed chicken I found on So Delushious was a success!  It was so good and tasted gourmet.   

I fell in love with boursin cheese at a dinner party two years ago.  I literally ate the whole cheese plate.  So I really couldn't contain my excitement when I found this recipe.  You can find Boursin cheese at most grocery stores.  Wal-mart even has it!  You can find it in the gourmet cheese section of the grocery store (not by the shredded cheeses).  Boursin is usually located by the laughing cow or babybel cheese.

Ingredients:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pckg. Boursin cheese (Note: I used the herb and garlic flavor. You can also use a packed herb goat cheese.)
4 slices thickly cut bacon
4 slices prosciutto
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
1 c. chicken stock
10-12 cherry tomatoes

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil the bottom of a deep oven pan, like a rectangular or square cake pan. Place one piece of the chicken breast on top of a piece of Saran wrap. Cover with another piece and gently beat it with the rounded end of a metal ladle or just a meat tenderizer.  Do this until the chicken breast is large and fairly thin.  Generously spread the boursin cheese over the chicken breast.  Lay 2 slices of bacon on the chicken breast.  Roll from the short side in. Wrap two pieces of prosciutto around each chicken roll, making sure not to overlap too much. Place into lightly greased pan. Season with lemon, salt and pepper.  Pour chicken stock into bottom of the pan, toss in cherry tomatoes. Bake on middle rack for 55 minutes.  Make sure to spoon juice onto tops of chicken every 10-15 minutes or so. Slice diagonally and serve with sautéed veggies.
