  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is half the battle won. For this delicious Boursin Chicken Pasta, you’ll need:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces pasta of your choice (penne or fettuccine work well)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Feel free to substitute the spinach with kale or arugula for a peppery twist, and if you’re watching your calories, you can swap the heavy cream for half-and-half.

Instructions

Ready to dive into cooking? Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time:

  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, then add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  7. Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top. Give it a final toss and serve immediately.

This process might remind you of those early lessons in the kitchen, where every step was a discovery, and the outcome was always a little bit of magic.
