Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 5.2 oz package of Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese (softened)
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner pieces. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half of the Boursin cheese with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
