Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 lb total)
- 8 oz Boursin cheese (garlic & herbs variety), room temperature
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, about 6–7 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate. Tent loosely with foil.
- Pour 1 cup chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
- Add the Boursin cheese to the broth and stir until melted and smooth. Adjust consistency with additional broth if too thick.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and simmer gently for about 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
