Tender, juicy chicken smothered in a luxuriously creamy Boursin cheese sauce infused with garlic and herbs 

 

Ingredients:

* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

* Salt and black pepper, to taste

* 1 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 2 tablespoons butter

* 3 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 cup chicken broth

* ½ cup heavy cream

* 1 wheel (5–6 oz) Boursin cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor

* 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

* Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

 

Instructions:

1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

6. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using), then reduce heat to low.

7. Add Boursin cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth, forming a creamy sauce.

8. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until chicken is coated and sauce thickens.

9. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve hot.
