Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. avocado oil or another neutral oil
- 1 ½ lbs. thin cut chicken breasts
- 5.2 oz. Boursin Cheese
- 1 small shallot minced
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 4 oz. white wine
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, add oil.
- Once hot, add chicken cutlets and brown well, around 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked through, set on a plate to the side.
- To the same skillet, turn the heat down to medium low and add butter.
- Once butter is melted, add minced shallots. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine and whisk to combine.
- While continuously whisking, add crumbled boursin cheese. Continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick add additional wine or broth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over cooked chicken breasts and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to brown the chicken cutlets very well for maximum flavor and color.
- Double the sauce, it's so good, you may want extra!
- To avoid the sauce breaking, keep heat steady in the pan over medium heat and keep stirring. If the sauce does happen to separate, add a tablespoon of wine or broth and whisk vigorously.
