Ingredients
12 oz Penne or Fusilli pasta
1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
2 cups Fresh baby spinach
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Chicken broth
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2: While pasta is cooking, season chicken slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Add the Boursin cheese and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cheese has melted into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Step 6: Add the cooked pasta and baby spinach to the sauce. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7: Return the chicken to the pan, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve your creamy boursin chicken pasta immediately.
Notes
Always reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce thickness at the end.
