Main Ingredients

2 pieces chicken breasts Can substitute with chicken thighs for juiciness.
4 oz garlic-herb Boursin cheese Other flavors can be experimented with.
8 oz sliced mushrooms Feel free to substitute with your favorite veggies.
1 cup heavy cream Can be replaced with half-and-half for a lighter option.
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
to taste Salt and pepper
for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Sear the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until they soften, then stir in the minced garlic.

Make the Creamy Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream, then add the Boursin cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely, creating a smooth and silky sauce.

Combine Chicken and Sauce

Return the seared chicken to the skillet and coat it generously in the creamy sauce. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside mashed potatoes, pasta, or a slice of crusty bread.
