Prosciutto-Wrapped Boursin-stuffed Chicken

This ridiculously delicious chicken dinner is surprisingly easy to prepare.

Serves 4

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
8 good slices thinly sliced prosciutto
2 packages Boursin Cheese Spread with Garlic and Fine Herbs (You will have some leftover)
Grated rind of 2 good-sized lemons
kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
olive oil to drizzle
¼ cup milk or cream
Garnish: chopped flat-leaf parsley or chopped fresh basil

Heat oven to 400°F.
Put the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound the chicken to an even thickness (¼ to ½ inch)
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Divide the Boursin among the chicken pieces, placing 1 tablespoon dollop on each then sprinkle each with a little grated lemon rind.

Roll the chicken around the cheese and place seam side down in a nonstick, heavy, ovenproof skillet
Wrap each chicken roll in a slice of prosciutto. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle fresh cracked pepper.
Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

Once done, transfer the chicken from the skillet to a dish or serving plate to rest.
Add the milk/cream to the skillet over medium-high heat, whisking until smooth.
Simmer up to 1 minute to thicken if necessary.
Serve the sauce spooned over the chicken rolls, and sprinkle over some parsley or basil.
