Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5.2 ounces Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is foaming.
  • Place chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the exterior is golden brown.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Pour chicken broth into the hot skillet, whisking constantly to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream to the skillet.
  • Whisk the sauce continuously until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and simmering.
  • Return the chicken and any resting juices to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the meat.
  • Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
