Description

This Boursin Chicken recipe features tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked to golden perfection in a flavorful creamy garlic and herb Boursin cheese sauce. The dish is finished in the oven to ensure juicy, fully cooked chicken with a rich and smooth sauce, making it a perfect elegant meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin garlic and herb cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken later.
  2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the four boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring even seasoning.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook them for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and the entire 5.2 oz package of Boursin garlic and herb cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the creamy Boursin sauce over the top of each piece to coat well.
  6. Bake: Transfer the oven-safe skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a fresh herb finish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet for seamless stovetop-to-oven cooking.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid under or overcooking.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, though it may be less rich.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
  • For extra flavor, add minced garlic when melting butter before adding liquids.
