Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
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.
In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Lower the heat and stir in the Boursin cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken as it thickens.
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
