Chicken in Boursin Sauce with Garlic and Fine Herbs

 

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)
Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Optional Serving Ideas:
Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Directions:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Add the Boursin cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using), stirring until the sauce is well combined.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 3–5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side.
