3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Creamy Boursin Chicken Pasta

Prepare the Pasta

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Garlic and Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the Boursin cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Combine Everything

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Finish and Garnish

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness. If you like some spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes. Serve hot for a satisfying cheese pasta experience.
