I kept seeing this recipe around on the internet and I finally had to try it. Boursin is a creamy cheese spread you can buy at the super market and I love it. It is great on crackers or baguettes. The garlic herb is my favorite and it is what this recipe uses, so I had to make it.
I also liked that this recipe looked simple and quick for an easy weeknight dinner. I served it over mashed potatoes and loved it that way, but you could also serve with rice or over veggies – the sauce was SO good on the asparagus and I’d honestly make it just to serve over vegetables again.
This recipe really couldn’t be easier. You just season and pan sear the chicken, cook it until it is ready, make a sauce with some onions, garlic, chicken broth and the cheese, season and serve over your rice, potatoes or vegetables.
Boursin Chicken
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts halved the short way to make thin breasts
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 5.2oz package garlic and herb Boursin cheese
- mashed potatoes, rice and/or veggies for serving
Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to get 6 thinner pieces. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high, and when hot, add the chicken pieces to sear them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder while cooking. Flip and sear the other side of the chicken, then reduce heat and cook until fully cooked. Set aside.
- Add a little more oil if needed, then add the onion and garlic to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the broth and the cheese and whisk until it comes together. Add the chicken back to the pan and simmer until hot. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve over potatoes, rice or veggies.
Dinner in 30 minutes – that’s awesome!
