Ingredients

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pounds)
  • 8 ounces New Zealand Camembert cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Equipment

  • skillet
  • Baking dish
  • Shallow dish for coating the chicken

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  3. Cut the Camembert cheese into 8 equal portions and stuff one portion into each chicken breast pocket.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the flour mixture to coat.
  6. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before slicing a pocket into them.
Make sure the cheese is at room temperature before stuffing the chicken breasts to prevent the cheese from solidifying and becoming difficult to work with.
Secure the opening of the chicken breast with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from melting out during cooking.
