Boursin Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts*, (about 1 & ½pounds total)
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup olive oil, (divided)
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, (sliced, other similar mushrooms work too)
- 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
- ¼ cup white wine**
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 5.2 oz round block of Boursin garlic and herb cheese, (cut into 4 pieces)
- chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut your chicken in half so you get two thin chicken cutlets. Season on both sides with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat half of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken to the pan and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan with the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
- Add in the chicken broth and Boursin cheese. Stir until a smooth sauce forms and allow it to gently bubble for 3 minutes.***
- Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and warm through, about 2 minutes, or until an internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Serve with some of the mushroom-cheese sauce and sprinkle with a bit of fresh chopped parsley. We typically enjoy this with pasta and a roasted vegetable.

How to Store
Leftover Boursin chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. I don’t recommend freezing this dish as the sauce becomes grainy once thawed.
Reheat leftovers low and slow on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
We typically enjoy Boursin cheese chicken over pasta with a side of freshly cooked green beans. Mashed potatoes or cooked rice would be other good options, and you can swap the green beans for any veggie you have on hand, whether you want to make air fryer asparagus, air fryer Brussels sprouts, or prepare roasted broccoli.
So easy to make and was absolutely delish!!
This is so incredibly delicious and easy to make. I love Boursin cheese and I love mushrooms. It’s a win win. I added egg noodles to the dish.

We enjoyed this recipe so much, just made for dinner with leftovers for tomorrow! Safeway had recently given me a coupon for Boursin cheese and I decided how to se it. Your recipe popped up on FB. I had chicken in freezer, only needed to buy mushrooms. Served with mashed potatoes and salad.
