Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced horizontally into 4 thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 1 shallot finely minced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio, or substitute chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese one package
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Whisk

Instructions
 

  1. Pat the chicken cutlets dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Crumble in the Boursin cheese and whisk constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Wine Substitute: If you prefer not to use wine, simply substitute it with an equal amount of additional chicken broth.
Add Veggies: Feel free to add 2 cups of fresh spinach or 8 oz of sliced mushrooms to the sauce for extra nutrients and flavor.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
