Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken breasts. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Step 4: Stir in the Boursin cheese. Whisk gently until the cheese has melted and formed a smooth, creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or milk/cream until desired consistency is reached.
Step 5: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and heat gently for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if using. Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy this delicious boursin chicken recipe quick creamy meal!
Notes
For best results, make sure your chicken breasts are of similar thickness for even cooking. If they are very thick, you can butterfly them or pound them slightly. This boursin chicken recipe quick creamy dish is fantastic with a side of pasta or rice to soak up all the delicious sauce!
