Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley and chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the chicken.
Sprinkle both sides of your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy — this is the foundation of great flavor!
2. Sear it up.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until it’s beautifully golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep it warm.
3. Whip up the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth. Give the bottom of the pan a good scrape with a wooden spoon to release all those flavorful brown bits — that’s the good stuff!
Now, stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Let it melt and blend into a silky, creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Bring it all together.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning that heavenly sauce over each piece. Let it simmer for a couple more minutes so everything mingles perfectly.
5. Garnish and serve.
Top with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and chives for a fresh, herby finish. Serve hot — and maybe have some bread nearby to soak up that extra sauce (you’ll thank yourself later!).
