Preparing Your Chicken for the Perfect Sear

To make the best boursin chicken thighs or stuffed chicken breast, start with the right prep. The secret to a tasty dish is in how you handle your chicken before cooking.

First, pick top-notch chicken breasts or thighs. Dry the chicken well with paper towels. This step is key for a crispy, golden-brown sear. Excess moisture can ruin a perfect sear, so be thorough in drying the chicken.

• Use 4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts
• Pat chicken dry with clean paper towels
• Prepare 2 tablespoons of olive oil for sautéing
• Gather your seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika

To stuff a chicken breast, make a pocket. Slice the chicken’s thickest part horizontally but not all the way through. This makes a space for your Boursin cheese.

Seasoning is vital for flavor. Rub your chicken with olive oil and then sprinkle with:

• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons sea salt

Pro tip: Let the seasoned chicken sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking. This step helps the seasonings soak into the meat and cooks it more evenly.

The perfect chicken starts with perfect preparation!
