Notes
- I get the best results with thin chicken cutlets because they cook quickly and evenly.
- Chicken is done when it reaches 165°F internally.
- Let the Boursin sit out for a few minutes before adding it to the skillet so it melts more smoothly.
- Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer after adding the Boursin. Boiling it too hard can make the sauce look grainy.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken stock until it loosens.
- If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for another 2–3 minutes before adding the chicken back.
- If adding vegetables, add spinach or peas near the end. Sauté mushrooms, asparagus, or zucchini before making the sauce.
- Use low-sodium chicken stock if you prefer a less salty sauce.
