Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ medium red onion sliced
  • 12 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 5.3 ounces (1 box) Boursin cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Using a large, sharp knife slice the chicken breasts in half, lengthwise.
  • Combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, Italian herbs, and pepper. Stir to combine. Sprinkle on both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add half the oil and once hot, cook the chicken breasts on each side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and once hot, sauté the onion sfor 4 minutes. Then add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Add a little of the chicken stock to the pan to deglaze the bottom. Use a spatula to gently scrape up the bottom. Pour in the remaining stock and the Boursin cheese. Use the spatula to break up the cheese and stir it till it’s combined.
  • Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes then add the chicken breasts back in. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken breasts have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.
  • Remove from the heat and top with chopped parsley.
