Description

This delicious Chicken with Boursin Sauce with Garlic and Fine Herbs features tender chicken breasts cooked to golden perfection and baked in a creamy, flavorful sauce made from heavy cream and Boursin cheese. The sauce is enhanced with garlic and fine herbs, making it a perfect comforting and elegant meal that pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package of Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after searing.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
  3. Heat Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.
  5. Set Aside Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside temporarily.
  6. Sauté Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring to avoid burning.
  7. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
  8. Incorporate Cheese: Add the Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  9. Return Chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce generously over each piece.
  10. Bake: Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  11. Rest: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  12. Serve: Serve the chicken hot, topped with the rich Boursin sauce, alongside your preferred side dishes. Enjoy your flavorful meal!

Notes

  • Using an oven-safe skillet simplifies the cooking process by allowing you to sear and bake in the same pan.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • If Boursin cheese is unavailable, a mix of cream cheese blended with garlic and fresh herbs can be used as a substitute.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the cream and cheese mixture a bit longer before adding the chicken back.
  • Pair this dish with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
