A creamy and flavorful Boursin Chicken recipe featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich garlic and herb cheese sauce, perfect for an elegant yet easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

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 after searing.
  2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside temporarily.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Boursin garlic and herb cheese. Continue stirring 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 sauce over each piece to coat well.
  6. Bake Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is fully cooked through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer from stovetop to oven without transferring to another dish.
  • Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure safety and juiciness.
  • Boursin cheese adds both flavor and creamy texture; avoid substituting with less flavorful cheeses.
  • For low-fat variation, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half and use less butter.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve the creamy sauce.
