Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts halved lengthwise for 4 thinner pieces
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for cooking
  • ½ medium onion chopped finely
  • ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium optional, for sauce
  • 1 5.2 oz package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese (softened)
  • 1-2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thinner pieces and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
  3. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked (165°F internal), then remove to a plate.
  4. Add the chopped onions to the same skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned, adding a splash of oil if needed.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the softened Boursin cheese until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken (including any juices from the plate) to the skillet and warm through for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Adjust with extra broth if too thick.
  7. Stir in chopped parsley if desired, taste, and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
