Description

A rich and creamy chicken dish made with flavorful Boursin cheese, creating a velvety sauce infused with herbs and garlic. This easy recipe delivers restaurant-quality comfort in every bite, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 package (150 g) Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, making sure not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
  5. Create Sauce: Stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream, whisking continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for 3-5 minutes on low heat to thicken the sauce slightly and heat the chicken through.
  7. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • Adjust sauce thickness by adding more chicken broth if it becomes too thick.
  • Use low heat when simmering the sauce to prevent it from separating or curdling.
  • Boursin cheese comes in various flavors; garlic & herb works best for this recipe.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half but expect a slightly less rich sauce.
