Learn how to make delicious Creamy Boursin Chicken Skillet. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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:

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. 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.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
