This easy Boursin chicken recipe comes together quickly with a handful of everyday ingredients and has a deliciously creamy and cheesy herb sauce!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese softened
  • 1–2 tablespoons chopped parsley to taste, optional

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to get 4 thinner pieces. Season them with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.
  2. Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat and let it heat up for a few minutes. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes/side or until cooked through, then transfer it to a plate.
  3. To the skillet, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. If the pan seems dry, add a small splash more olive oil.
  4. Add the chicken broth and the Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir until you’ve got a smooth sauce. Let it bubble for 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley if using.
  5. Add the chicken (and any plate juices) back into the skillet and let it warm through for a couple of minutes. The sauce should be thicker by now (you can always cook it a bit longer if need be). If it’s too thick, you can add another splash of chicken broth.
  6. Season with salt & pepper if needed (I find the sauce fairly salty when using regular broth) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken is cooked when an instant read thermometer reads 165F when inserted into the thickest part.
  • This recipe is also on page 78 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
