Creamy Garlic Boursin Chicken with Asparagus and Mushrooms

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Servings: 4


Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 5 oz (140g) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken:
    Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms and Asparagus:
    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and asparagus. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
  4. Make the Sauce:
    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Then, stir in the heavy cream and Boursin cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Combine the Chicken:
    Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and vegetables over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through and soak in the flavors.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the creamy garlic Boursin chicken with the mushrooms and asparagus over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes if desired.
