Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 wheel (5–6 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using), stirring to combine.
Melt in Boursin cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top, and simmer 3–5 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the sauce.
Leftovers reheat well — just add a splash of cream before warming.
Use chicken thighs for a richer, juicier variation.
Dijon adds subtle depth but is optional.
