Boursin Chicken
Quick and easy chicken breasts cooked in a creamy Boursin cheese sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour or arrowroot powder (to coat the chicken)
- Kosher salt and black pepper (for seasoning)
- 1½ tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil (for searing)
- 5 ounces Boursin cheese (preferably Garlic and Herb flavor)
- 2 small shallots (finely chopped, about ¼ cup)
- 1 cup vegetable broth (to build the sauce)
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts to about half an inch thick for even cooking.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat with flour or arrowroot powder.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add shallots and cook for about 1 minute until softened.
- Deglaze the pan with vegetable broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in Boursin cheese until smooth and creamy. Return chicken to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes, coating with sauce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
