Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients to create a dish that’s both comforting and sophisticated:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs variety)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
If you’re out of Boursin cheese, feel free to substitute with another soft, herbed cheese, or even cream cheese with added herbs for a similar effect.
Instructions
- Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with dried thyme and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Cooking is a sensory experience, so don’t shy away from tasting and adjusting the seasoning as you go. My grandmother always said that our senses are the best guide in the kitchen.
