🔪 How to Make Boursin Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This adds a flavorful base before cooking.
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Build the Flavor Base
In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce
Pour in chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 5: Add Boursin Cheese
Add the entire Boursin cheese package into the sauce. Stir until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Add Vegetables (Optional)
If using spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes, add them now and let them cook until softened.
Step 7: Return Chicken to Pan
Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 8: Serve
Serve hot with extra sauce poured on top.
