  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz of your favorite pasta (penne, fettuccine, or farfalle)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup of Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor recommended)
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, then add the Boursin cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are coated evenly with the creamy Boursin sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan if desired. Serve hot for a truly satisfying experience.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, stir in a splash of white wine during the sauce preparation.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little pasta water or chicken broth.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
  • Feel free to substitute with other herbs like thyme or basil for extra aroma.
