Directions
Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Raspberry Sauce, Doesn’t this sound romantic? I had this elegant sounding recipe in my collection for years, clipped from a magazine This is the perfect thing for an elegant, romantic dinner especially for Valentine’s Day Note: If you can’t find boursin cheese in the store, you can use a homemade version – there are several recipes for this cheese right here on Recipezaar or Alouette Garlic & Herb cheese also works I prefer baby spinach leaves, in which case you will need several per piece of chicken, enough to cover the top of each breast used Wishbone Red Wine & Olive Oil Vinaigrette in this , The only change I made was to cut the vinegar to 1 tablespoon Oh, and used pecans Really good, Thanks!, This recipe was okay made for Valentine’s Day supper I did sub the Aloutte cheese for the Boursin, so maybe that made a difference I just didn’t really think this had much of a taste DH liked it, though! It was an easy and pretty dish to prepare! Thanks for posting!
