Create an incredibly creamy chicken dish where Boursin cheese melts perfectly into a rich sauce. This recipe brings comforting, restaurant-quality flavor right to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (5.2-ounce) container Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and chicken broth to the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add the entire container of Boursin cheese to the liquid. Stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  7. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the sauce’s flavor.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
  • If the sauce thickens too much while simmering, add an extra splash of chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
