Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 (5.2oz) package Boursin Cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner pieces. Use a meat hammer, rolling pin, or meat tenderizer to achieve even thickness.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet, searing for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 150°F). Remove the chicken and transfer it to a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened and caramelized.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the Boursin cheese. Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and bubbly, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any juices from the plate, and let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 155-160°F.
- Serve the chicken topped with chopped parsley for an elegant finish.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if necessary.
