Ingredients
Before we start cooking, let’s gather our ingredients. This list reflects my approach to cooking – straightforward and full of flavor.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
If you’re out of Boursin cheese, cream cheese with herbs can be a handy substitute. And for a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Instructions
Cooking is like storytelling, each step building on the next to create something memorable. Here’s how you can bring this dish to life:
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some sauce over them, and let them simmer in the sauce for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
As my abuela would say, “Cook with your heart,” and don’t be afraid to adjust the flavors to your liking!
