Ingredients for the Easy Boursin Chicken

A handful of everyday ingredients come together to make this luxurious dish. Here are the essentials:

Chicken breasts — Boneless and skinless, they cook quickly and absorb all that creamy flavor.

Olive oil — Helps get that perfect golden sear on the chicken.

Garlic — Freshly minced garlic adds depth to the Boursin’s own garlicky goodness.

Chicken broth — This forms the base of the sauce and enhances the savory notes.

Boursin cheese — The star ingredient, it melts into a dreamy, herbed sauce.

Heavy cream — Adds extra silkiness and richness to the sauce.

Salt and pepper — For seasoning and balance.

Fresh parsley — Optional, but perfect for a pop of freshness and color at the end.

How To Make the Easy Boursin Chicken

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them until golden on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Flavor

Lower the heat and add minced garlic to the same skillet. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Create the Sauce

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan. Add in the Boursin cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

Step 4: Simmer and Serve

Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for another 5-8 minutes, until cooked through and juicy. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Serving and Storing This Creamy Boursin Chicken

This dish is hearty enough to serve four hungry people, making it ideal for small families or easy meal prep. Pair it with buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, or roasted green beans for a balanced plate. If you have leftovers, they store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat to keep the sauce silky.
