Ingredients

  

  • 1 lb. penne pasta cooked until al dente
  • 3 chicken breasts butterflied
  • 2 packages of original Boursin cheese
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley divided
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a 9×11 baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, 1/8 cup chopped parsley, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
  • Butterfly and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix the two packages of Boursin cheese with the chopped baby spinach and another 1/8 cup of parsley until evenly combined.
  • Press the Boursin mixture over each butterflied chicken breast so they are well coated.
  • Place the prepared chicken on top of the tomato mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the chicken and finish with cracked black pepper.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, browned, and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • While the chicken bakes, toss the cooked penne with a little butter to coat and warm through.
  • When ready, let the bake rest a few minutes. Serve each chicken breast with a portion of buttered penne, spooning some of the roasted tomatoes and their juices over the pasta. Garnish with remaining chopped parsley and enjoy.
