Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • paper towels
  • spatula
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • foil

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a few minutes to reduce the broth slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Boursin cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the Boursin garlic sauce over them. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the chicken to warm through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients. Don't overcook the chicken; use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C). If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth or cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can sear the chicken ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also make the sauce ahead of time and store it separately. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the chicken and sauce in a skillet and combine. Add sautéed mushrooms or a splash of white wine for extra flavor. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine for extra flavor. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
