This Boursin chicken is creamy, comforting, and easy to make. It’s pan-fried chicken simmered in a rich cream sauce flavored with herbs and garlic. It’s a versatile weeknight dish that’s ready in just 30 minutes!
My family loves creamy chicken dishes and Boursin cheese, so this recipe was bound to be a hit. It’s rich, comforting, and comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights—and it’s ready in just 20 minutes. The sauce is incredibly creamy and tastes exactly like classic garlic-and-herb Boursin, with that signature savory, herby flavor in every bite.
Boursin chicken is a pan-fried chicken dish finished with a creamy sauce made with Boursin cheese rather than whipping cream. If you’ve never cooked with Boursin before, it’s like a shortcut cream sauce: no flour, no fuss, and no risk of a grainy texture. The cheese melts beautifully in the pan, creating a velvety sauce that coats the chicken and delivers big garlic-and-herb flavor with minimal effort.
It’s one of those recipes that feels indulgent but is surprisingly simple, which is why it keeps earning a spot in our regular dinner rotation.
What to serve with Boursin chicken
This Boursin chicken is really versatile and goes with pretty much any vegetable or grain side. You can keep the theme going with my Boursin green beans with bacon and creamy Boursin cheese pasta.
Garlic mashed potatoes is a great side and you can pour the cream sauce over top. Round out dinner with a classic Caesar salad or sautéed asparagus with garlic and Parmesan.
Store and reheat
Store: Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in a covered container in your fridge.
Reheat: I like to slice it thin and reheat it in a pan over medium heat with some of the sauce and a splash of water. You can also use a microwave to reheat it.
