Now to the fun part—bringing this dish to life! Trust me, the process is as enjoyable as the result.

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. This is a simple step, but it’s crucial for building flavor from the ground up.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can turn bitter.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet—those bits are flavor gold!
5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Stir in the lemon juice and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to soak up all that creamy goodness.
7. Finish by sprinkling the fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness.

Cooking is about intuition as much as it is about following steps. Don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your liking, or to add more broth if you prefer a thinner sauce.
