If you’re looking for an ultra-creamy, flavor-packed dinner that takes minimal effort, Easy Boursin Chicken is your next go-to meal. This one-pan wonder is made with juicy chicken breasts seared to perfection and smothered in a velvety garlic and herb cheese sauce that’s restaurant-quality but weeknight-easy.

The real magic here is the Boursin cheese. It melts effortlessly into a luscious sauce, adding rich garlic and herb flavor without the need for chopping a single clove. Whether you’re feeding picky eaters or impressing guests, this dish is always a win.

Why You’ll Love This Easy Boursin Chicken

This recipe is all about minimal work, maximum reward. Everything comes together in one skillet, making cleanup easy and fast. The creamy sauce tastes like you spent hours simmering it, thanks to the Boursin’s already complex flavor. Plus, it’s a flexible main dish you can pair with anything from pasta to roasted veggies.

What Kind of Boursin Cheese Should I Use?

Garlic and Fine Herbs is the classic flavor used in this dish, and it’s definitely the crowd-pleaser. However, you can absolutely switch things up with the Shallot & Chive or even the Cracked Black Pepper variety for a bold twist. They all melt beautifully and bring their own character to the sauce.

Ingredients for the Easy Boursin Chicken

Let’s talk about what you’ll need to create this creamy skillet favorite. Most ingredients are pantry staples, making this dish even easier to whip up on a busy night.

Chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
Garlic
Chicken broth
Heavy cream
Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb)
Fresh parsley

The star is clearly the Boursin cheese, which transforms a simple cream sauce into something luxurious and garlicky. The chicken breasts are the protein base, while garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream create the rich body of the sauce. Olive oil is for searing, and a sprinkle of parsley at the end gives a bright finish.

How To Make the Easy Boursin Chicken

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Pat your chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Sauce Base

In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Step 3: Add Cream and Boursin

Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Boursin cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4: Return Chicken to the Pan

Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Top with chopped parsley and serve hot. This is perfect over mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed veggies.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Chicken

Easy Boursin Chicken feeds about 4 people comfortably, especially if paired with sides. It’s hearty on its own but truly shines when served over a starch like buttery mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice to soak up the sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The sauce may thicken slightly when reheated, so add a splash of cream or broth to loosen it up while warming.

What to Serve With Easy Boursin Chicken?

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Fluffy and buttery, mashed potatoes are a perfect pairing for soaking up every bit of that creamy sauce.

Garlic Butter Pasta

Toss some angel hair or linguine in garlic butter and serve it underneath the chicken for a bistro-style meal.

Steamed Broccoli

A green veggie with a little crunch balances the richness of the sauce beautifully.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Their slightly bitter caramelized flavor pairs well with creamy elements.

Herbed Rice Pilaf

A soft herby rice acts as a neutral but flavorful canvas.

Crispy Green Salad

A refreshing salad with a lemon vinaigrette helps cut the creaminess and refresh the palate.

Garlic Bread

Nothing wrong with mopping up extra sauce with some crusty, buttery bread.
