Chicken in Boursin Sauce with Garlic and Fine Herbs
  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Lower the heat and stir in the Boursin cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.

  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken as it thickens.

  6. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
