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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts into the broth, forming a creamy sauce.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
