Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (low sodium, if preferred)
- 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Cheese with Fine Herbs & Garlic, softened
- 1–2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Sauté Onions: Add onions to the skillet and sauté until softened and lightly browned. Add a splash more olive oil if the pan seems dry.
- Make Boursin Sauce: Pour chicken broth into the skillet and stir in the softened Boursin cheese until melted and smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in chopped parsley, if using.
- Combine and Finish: Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for a couple of minutes to heat through. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken Doneness: Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Salt: This recipe can be quite salty depending on the broth and Boursin cheese used. Adjust salt as needed or use low-sodium broth.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve this dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
