Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor before cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the softened Boursin cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the same skillet. Whisk continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and dried thyme, mixing well to incorporate the herbs evenly throughout the sauce.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the creamy Boursin sauce over the chicken. Let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the flavors meld.
  6. Serve: Serve the chicken breasts hot, topped with the luscious Boursin sauce. This dish pairs beautifully with pasta or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Serve with a side of pasta or rice for a complete meal.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce just before serving.
  • You can substitute fresh thyme for dried if available, adjusting the quantity accordingly.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
