Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless Feel free to substitute with chicken thighs for a juicier experience.
  • 8 oz Boursin cheese Garlic & herb flavor is ideal.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Or butter, for a richer taste.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme For garnish, if you like a touch of freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the Boursin cheese until melted and combined, creating a creamy sauce.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, letting it simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  5. Plate the chicken and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Finish with fresh herbs for a pop of color.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture.
