Description

This One Pan Creamy Boursin Chicken recipe is a flavorful and comforting meal featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich, creamy garlic and herb sauce made with Boursin cheese. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner, this dish comes together quickly on the stovetop, delivering a deliciously creamy sauce with aromatic thyme and garlic, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

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

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and dried thyme to enhance their flavor.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, creating a flavorful crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Deglaze the pan: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate all the savory flavors into the sauce.
  5. Add cheese and cream: Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Return chicken to skillet: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them to coat evenly.
  7. Simmer the chicken: Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving to add color and a fresh herbal note.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • If Boursin cheese is unavailable, cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs can be used as a substitute.
  • Use fresh thyme instead of dried for a brighter herbal flavor, adjusting the quantity accordingly.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken during searing to keep it moist and tender.
