  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 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 cutlets

Sauce and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons 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

  1. Season the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken cutlets and use your hands to thoroughly rub the seasoning mixture over the entire surface of the chicken.
  2. Optional Marination: For best flavor and even cooking, marinate the seasoned chicken for 20 minutes at room temperature if time allows.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a clean plate.
  4. Sauté Onions and Spinach: Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the same skillet. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in spinach and minced garlic, cooking and stirring until the spinach wilts.
  5. Add Broth and Cheese: Pour in the chicken broth and increase heat to high to bring it to a low boil. Then reduce heat to low and gently whisk in the Boursin cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Simmer Chicken in Sauce: Nestle the cooked chicken cutlets into the cheese sauce and simmer for 2 minutes or until heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for 20 minutes is optional but recommended for enhanced flavor and more even cooking.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for food safety.
  • Use thinly sliced chicken cutlets for the best texture and quick cooking.
  • Boursin cheese adds a rich, herbed flavor; you can substitute with another soft herbed cheese if unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of spinach based on preference; it wilts significantly during cooking.
