Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Optional for serving: mashed potatoes, pasta, crusty bread, green beans, or asparagus
Instructions
Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high until foamy.
Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes.
Lower heat, whisk in Boursin cheese until melted and smooth.
Stir in cream, parsley, and thyme until sauce is velvety.
Return chicken to pan, spoon sauce over top, and simmer until chicken reaches 165°F.
Serve with sides and garnish with extra herbs and pepper.
Notes
For a substitute: blend 4 oz cream cheese with garlic powder and dried herbs.
Adjust sauce thickness with more broth or simmer time.
Use a meat thermometer for best results.
Leftovers reheat beautifully—just add a splash of cream.
