Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Boursin Chicken
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Easy Boursin Chicken. Thaw the chicken breasts if frozen and ensure they are fully thawed to promote even cooking. While the chicken is thawing, wash and slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms to the leftover oil and juices. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and softened.
  4. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the sautéed mushrooms and garlic. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the Boursin cheese, stirring until fully melted and creamy.
  6. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are nestled in the creamy sauce. Let them simmer for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors together.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the sauce generously over each piece of chicken before serving.
