A savory Boursin sauce with mushrooms and herbs goes so well with the simple sauteed chicken breasts. Serve this dish with rice or noodles for a delicious meal.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, sliced or pounded until thinned
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 package light Boursin cheese, about 4.4 ounces
