Seasoning Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Main Ingredients
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Serving Suggestions
  • to taste Steamed green beans or asparagus

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and stir for about half a minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  3. Lower the heat, add the Boursin cheese, and whisk until smooth. Then add the heavy cream, stirring in the fresh parsley and thyme.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and allow it to cook in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and black pepper if desired.
  2. Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
