A delightful dish that marries tender chicken with a creamy Boursin cheese sauce, perfect for busy evenings or special gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 8 oz pasta (farfalle or penne)
  • 5 oz Boursin cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

  1. In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.

For a twist, swap chicken for shrimp or add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
