Description

This One Pan Creamy Boursin Chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich and flavorful garlic and herb Boursin cheese sauce, all made in a single skillet for easy cleanup. The creamy sauce combined with fresh herbs makes for a comforting and elegant meal perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin garlic & herb cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme to infuse flavor.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, releasing its aromatic flavor.
  4. Deglaze the pan: Pour in the chicken broth while scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits, which adds depth to the sauce.
  5. Make the creamy sauce: Lower the heat to medium and stir in the Boursin garlic & herb cheese and heavy cream. Continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Return chicken to skillet: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top to coat them well.
  7. Simmer to finish cooking: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked through and tender.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
  • The sauce can be thickened by simmering a few minutes longer if desired.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • For a lower-fat option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a lighter dairy alternative.
  • Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried thyme for a fresher herbal note.
