Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare your chicken: Start by gently pounding the chicken breasts to even thickness, about ½ inch. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s shimmering, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet. You should hear a lovely sizzle!
Cook the chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip them over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, sautéing it gently for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Next, crumble in the Boursin cheese until it melts into the cream.
Add flavor: Stir in the thyme and lemon juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken: Add your chicken breasts back into the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve and enjoy: Plate your chicken drizzled with the rich sauce.
