  • 1 tbsp salted butter kerrygold brand
  • ½ tsp thyme or a few fresh thyme sprigs
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced

  • Slice the whole chicken breasts in half lengthwise (this is called a “butterfly” cut). Sprinkle with salt and allow to rest on paper towels for at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Dab your chicken breasts dry with paper towels and allow to cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉. Set aside on paper towels to cool.
  • Peel and mince 4 cloves of garlic. In the pan used to cook the chicken, add in 1 tbsp butter and cook the garlic on medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add in ¼ cup white wine to deglaze the pan and allow it to simmer off for 1 minute.
  • Add ¼ cup chicken stock and ½ tsp thyme to the pan until it begins to simmer. Unwrap the Boursin cheese and allow it to melt into the sauce while stirring to combine.
  • When the Boursin cheese has fully melted into the sauce and is warmed through, add ¼ cup of cream. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken back into the sauce for a minute or two and serve warm. Garnish with parsley and plate with sides of your choice.
  • Enjoy!
