Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb variety)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and gently scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze, incorporating any browned bits.
Stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts into the broth, forming a creamy sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
