Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Sauce

  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese, softened
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner pieces. Season them evenly with garlic powder and salt & pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
  3. Sauté the onions: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are softened and lightly browned. Add a small splash of olive oil if the pan is dry.
  4. Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and add the softened Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a smooth sauce. Let it bubble gently for 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley if using.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken (including any juices on the plate) to the skillet. Let it warm through for a couple of minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
  6. Finalize and serve: Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the Boursin Chicken immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Use low sodium chicken broth if you prefer a less salty dish.
  • Softening the Boursin cheese before adding it to the skillet helps create a smooth sauce.
  • If you want extra herbs, garnish with additional fresh parsley or chives.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
