Chicken with Mushroom Boursin Sauce
A delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a creamy mushroom Boursin cheese sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts about 1 & ½ pounds total
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 cup olive oil divided
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 cup white wine No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with chicken broth
- 0.75 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 5.2 oz Boursin garlic and herb cheese cut into 4 pieces
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to get two thin chicken cutlets. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat half of the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine (or chicken broth).
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the Boursin cheese. Stir until a smooth sauce forms and let it gently bubble for 3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan and warm through for about 2 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve the chicken with the mushroom-cheese sauce and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. This dish pairs well with pasta and roasted vegetables.
Notes
You can serve this dish with pasta or rice for a complete meal. Feel free to add some extra vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the sauce for added flavor and nutrition.
