1. Can I make Creamy Boursin Chicken with chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, chicken thighs can be used in this recipe instead of chicken breasts. They provide a juicier, more flavorful option, though they may take a few extra minutes to cook. Ensure the thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F to be safe.

2. Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Boursin?

While Boursin cheese is the key ingredient in this recipe, you can experiment with other creamy cheeses like cream cheese, goat cheese, or even mascarpone. However, Boursin’s unique herb and garlic flavors are hard to replicate, so it’s worth sticking to the original if possible.

3. How do I store leftover Creamy Boursin Chicken?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to keep the sauce creamy and prevent it from drying out.

4. Can I make Creamy Boursin Chicken ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time. Simply cook the chicken and prepare the Boursin sauce, then store the components separately in the refrigerator. Reheat the chicken and sauce together before serving for a quick and easy meal

Instructions

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
Season the chicken with the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Pour the chicken stock into the pan and stir in the Boursin cheese. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the pan, adding spinach if using, and simmer for an additional 30 seconds to combine and heat through.
Serve the chicken with the creamy Boursin sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking its internal temperature (165°F).
If the sauce becomes too thick, add additional chicken stock to reach your desired consistency.
This dish can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
