Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Boursin Cheese Chicken. Ensure that the chicken breasts are thawed and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the hot skillet. Cook for 6–7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 6–7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom to deglaze the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Once simmering, reduce the heat and add the Boursin cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over it. Heat through for about 3–4 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving to enhance the visual appeal. Serve immediately.
