Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Sharp knife
- Large oven-safe skillet or baking dish
- Mixing spoon or spatula
- Measuring spoons and cup
- Aluminum foil (optional, for covering)
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced horizontally into cutlets or pounded evenly)
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 5.2 oz package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ medium onion finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets (or pound to an even thickness). Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear chicken cutlets for about 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden (they don’t need to be cooked through). Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and chopped onions. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in the Boursin cheese until melted and smooth. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
- (uncovered) for 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Spoon the creamy sauce and roasted tomatoes over the chicken. Delicious with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
