Delicious and creamy Boursin Chicken made with tender, pan-seared chicken breasts smothered in a rich garlic and herb Boursin cheese sauce. This quick and easy stovetop recipe is perfect for a flavorful weeknight dinner, featuring a smooth sauce created by deglazing with vegetable broth and blending with Boursin cheese.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour or arrowroot powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1½ tablespoons avocado or olive oil

Sauce

  • 5 oz Boursin cheese package (Garlic and Herb recommended)
  • 2 small shallots, chopped small (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: If using large chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch by placing between sheets of parchment paper and using a mallet on both sides. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper, then coat evenly with flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Sear Chicken: Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the avocado or olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear on one side for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  3. Make Sauce Base: In the same pan with the drippings, add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 1 minute until softened. Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the browned bits from the pan to deglaze. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce by approximately 1/4 cup, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add Boursin Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the Boursin cheese until melted and smooth. Increase the heat slightly to maintain a low simmer with small bubbles.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, coating them with the cheese sauce. Cook an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and chicken is heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a meat mallet to ensure even cooking for thicker chicken breasts.
  • Arrowroot powder can be used for a gluten-free flour alternative.
  • Keep the heat moderate to avoid scorching the cheese sauce.
  • Check the internal temperature of chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F for safety.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added freshness and color.
