Some dinners feel a little special without taking much extra effort... and this Creamy Boursin Chicken is one of them.
It's one of those recipes I make when I want something comforting but don't want to spend all evening in the kitchen. The creamy garlic and herb sauce comes together in one skillet, and the Boursin cheese does most of the work.
Serve it over mashed potatoes, pasta, or with a loaf of crusty bread to soak up every last bit of the sauce. Around here, that's exactly what we do.
If you're looking for an easy dinner that's cozy enough for a weeknight but impressive enough for company, this recipe is always a good choice.

How to Make Creamy Boursin Chicken
1. Season the chicken.
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Build the sauce.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), scraping up the browned bits from
the bottom of the skillet.
4. Make it creamy.
Add the Boursin cheese and heavy whipping cream.
Whisk until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Finish the chicken.
Return the chicken to the skillet.
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Serve.
Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Make It Your Own
Skip the wine and use extra chicken broth.
Add fresh spinach to the sauce.
Stir in sliced mushrooms.
