Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 thinly sliced chicken cutets see notes
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach packed
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (5.2 ounce) wheel Boursin cheese
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Add the chicken pieces and use your hands to rub the seasoning mixture over the entire surface of the chicken breasts.
- (Optional): Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. Recommended if you have the time. It also allows the chicken to reach room temperature, which promotes more even cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set them aside on a clean plate.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet set over medium heat. Once melted, add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the spinach and fresh garlic and cook, stirring often, until the spinach has wilted, then pour in the chicken broth.
- Increase the heat to high and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to low and gently whisk in the cheese until melted.
- Nestle the chicken into the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes or until heated through. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Notes
- Some stores sell pre-sliced chicken cutlets. If that’s not available to you, you can either pound your chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness or slice two (fairly thick) chicken breasts in half to make four thinner chicken cutlets.
- This Boursin chicken recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.
