Description
This Easy Boursin Chicken recipe features tender seared chicken breasts nestled in a creamy, garlicky Boursin cheese sauce with mushrooms. A cozy one-pan dinner ready in 30 minutes, perfect for weeknights or special gatherings.
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
5.2 ounces Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese (1 package)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper. Pound to even thickness if needed.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits.
5. Lower heat and stir in Boursin cheese until melted and creamy.
6. Add heavy cream, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer 2–3 minutes more.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Pound your chicken evenly for fast, uniform cooking.
Let the Boursin melt slowly over medium-low heat to avoid separation.
Add a splash of extra broth when reheating leftovers to revive the sauce.
