Ingredients
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 ounces of pasta (fettuccine or penne recommended)
– 1 package (5.2 ounces) of Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Creating Boursin Chicken Pasta is simple if you follow these fun steps:
1. Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
5. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes begin to soften, approximately 2-3 minutes.
7. Lower the heat and add the Boursin cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and coats the vegetables evenly.
8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined.
9. Add the sliced chicken on top, gently mixing to incorporate all the ingredients.
10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
