  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine works best)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 8 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Boursin Chicken Pasta is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

3. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.

4. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and stir in the Boursin cheese, allowing it to melt into a creamy sauce.

5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well until the sauce is fully combined and creamy. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6. Slice Chicken: While the sauce simmers, slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.

7. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the creamy sauce.

8. Incorporate Spinach: If using spinach, add it now and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

9. Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Following these steps will lead you to a delicious plate of Creamy Boursin Chicken Pasta that’s sure to win over any crowd.
