Instructions

Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add shallot and garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
Reduce heat, then stir in Boursin cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Return chicken to skillet and simmer for 5–7 minutes, basting with sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for cream.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Leftovers reheat well and can be used in pasta or wraps.
