Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced horizontally into 4 thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese softened
  • 3 cups fresh spinach about 3 large handfuls
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Tongs

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken by slicing the breasts horizontally into 4 thin cutlets. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream. Add the softened Boursin cheese and whisk until it melts into a smooth sauce.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Let it heat through for a minute before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature Boursin cheese to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce.
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken; cook in two batches if necessary to get a perfect golden crust.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
