Ingredients
- 4 4 medium chicken breasts
- 2 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt
- 1 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 1 package Boursin cheese
- Minced chives or parsley to serve
Instructions
- Dry the chicken well with paper towels. Pound the chicken a few times using the heel of your hand so that it is even in thickness.
- Whisk the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a shallow bowl then dip the chicken into it to coat.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear until it is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Flip the chicken over, lower the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until both sides are golden and the chicken is fully cooked, about 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the stock to the pan, turn the heat to medium-high, and let it come to a boil. Add the Boursin cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes then return the chicken and any juices to the pan and stir so it coats the chicken. Serve with some minced chives or parsley over the top.
