Author Notes

Mes ami, the provenance of this roast chicken is a filmmaker friend of Madame's who found it great fun to cook one evening for her. I must say I like this simple, flavorful preparation. —La Bonne Femme

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 Whole chicken
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Boursin cheese, plain or flavored
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the chicken. Salt it all over lightly. Place the cheese in the chicken cavity.
  2. Melt butter with oil in an ovenproof casserole or deep skillet. Add the chicken
  3. Roast at 425 for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 350 and finish roasting (45-50 minutes, depending on size).
