Description

Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
½ cup chicken broth
1 (5.2-ounce) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and tender. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
6. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with your favorite side.
Notes
Let the Boursin come to room temperature for faster melting into the sauce.
You can double the sauce if serving over pasta for extra creaminess.
For extra depth, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
