What Kind of Chicken Should I Use for Easy Boursin Chicken?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe because they cook quickly and evenly. However, boneless thighs can also be used for juicier results. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking, and feel free to pound the chicken slightly if needed.

Ingredients for the Easy Boursin Chicken

Chicken Breasts – These serve as the tender, golden base that soaks up the creamy sauce beautifully.

Boursin Cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs) – The star of the sauce. This creamy, herbed cheese effortlessly adds bold flavor and richness.

Heavy Cream – Adds luxurious silkiness to the sauce, balancing the tangy Boursin.

Mushrooms – Sliced and sautéed, they lend an earthy layer that pairs perfectly with the herbed cheese.

Chicken Broth – Helps deglaze the pan and stretch the sauce without diluting its flavor.

Garlic – For depth and aroma that complements the Boursin.

Olive Oil & Butter – For searing the chicken to a golden finish and enhancing the overall richness.

Salt & Pepper – Essential seasoning for bringing out the natural flavors.

Fresh Parsley (optional) – A bright, fresh garnish to finish the dish.

How To Make the Easy Boursin Chicken

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once hot, sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add a little more butter if needed. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and tender.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Boursin Sauce

Add minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4: Return Chicken to the Pan

Nestle the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet. Spoon sauce over each piece and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side.

How to Serve and Store This Easy Boursin Chicken
