Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds)
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white wine (or extra chicken broth)
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 5.2 oz Boursin garlic & herb cheese, cut into 4 pieces
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Slice chicken breasts in half to make thin cutlets. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook Chicken: Heat half the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Cook Mushrooms & Garlic: Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté mushrooms until golden, about 3–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 20 seconds until fragrant.
- Make Sauce: Deglaze the pan with white wine. Stir in chicken broth and Boursin cheese until smooth. Simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine & Serve: Return chicken to the pan and heat through, about 2 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F. Spoon sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley. Serve with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Tips & Variations
- No wine? Use extra chicken broth for a flavorful, alcohol-free sauce.
- Thicker sauce? Simmer longer or whisk in 2 tsp flour.
- Thinner sauce? Add a splash of chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
- Cheese swap: Cream cheese or goat cheese works in a pinch, though Boursin delivers the signature flavor.
