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 satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken

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

Sauce

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

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
  4. Add the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan for extra flavor.
  5. Create the sauce: Stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream, whisking continuously until the cheese fully melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Coat the chicken: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
  • Use low to medium heat when simmering the sauce to prevent it from separating.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
