Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 (5.2 ounces) package of Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Optional vegetables for roasting: cherry tomatoes, asparagus, bell peppers
- Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Prep and Season: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, just until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken cooks, add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened. Whisk in the softened Boursin cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let the sauce thicken slightly.
- Roast the Veggies (optional): If desired, toss your vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast alongside the chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Assemble and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven. Nestle the cooked chicken back into the sauce. Arrange roasted vegetables around the chicken, if using. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use your favorite flavor of Boursin cheese to personalize the dish.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Adjust the amount of cream to your desired sauce thickness.
