If you need a quick, comforting dinner after a long day, this easy Creamy Boursin & White Wine Chicken is it. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. Just a warm, cozy meal that actually gets everyone to slow down and sit at the table.
It’s become one of our go-tos because it uses simple ingredients I always have on hand and somehow tastes like I put in way more effort than I did. My husband and girls request it for birthday dinners, busy weeknights, and lazy Sundays. And honestly? It never lets us down.
Wine Pairing Tips
This creamy sauce loves a crisp white wine. .. think Sauvignon Blanc or a light Chardonnay. If you already have a bottle open, use that.
And if you’re not a wine person? It’s just as delicious with sweet tea or sparkling water. No rules here ... just whatever your family loves.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, this recipe is all about comfort. It’s easy, it’s warm, and it’s the kind of meal that makes a weeknight feel special without any fuss.
Let’s get cooking....

Angela's Recipe Tips
* If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or pasta water to thin it.
* If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes to reduce
* You can swap spinach for kale or leave it out completely.
* Boursin melts best on low heat. Don’t boil the sauce after adding it.
* Use any dry white wine you enjoy drinking; Sauvignon Blanc works great.
* To substitute wine, use an extra ½ cup chicken broth + 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
* Chicken thighs may be used instead of breasts (increase cook time slightly).
* Leftovers reheat but add a tiny splash of broth before warming.
Notes
1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–7 minutes per side until done. Set aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
3
Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth). Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes while you scrape up the browned bits from the pan.
4
Stir in the Boursin until the sauce is smooth. Add a splash of extra broth or wine if you need to thin it out.
5
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so everything comes together. Add spinach if using and let it wilt into the sauce.
6
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or whatever your family likes.
