  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin Cheese with Garlic and Fine Herbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. This simple seasoning brings out the natural flavors of the chicken and helps create a nice crust when searing.

Step 2: Sear the chicken

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. The goal here isn’t to cook it all the way through—just to get a good sear that locks in juices. Once done, set the chicken aside.

Step 3: Make the sauce

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This adds a ton of flavor to the sauce. Stir in the heavy cream and the Boursin cheese, letting the cheese melt fully. Stir until you have a smooth, velvety sauce.

Step 4: Finish cooking the chicken

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If the sauce thickens too much, you can add a splash more broth to loosen it up.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve warm. This is incredible over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, with a side of roasted vegetables.

Notes

How to serve it like a pro

For a beautiful presentation, slice the chicken before serving and drizzle extra sauce over the top. A sprinkle of extra parsley or a few fresh herb leaves makes it look even more inviting. Serve it with crusty bread to soak up every drop of that delicious sauce.
