– 12 ounces of pasta (fettuccine or penne works well)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Creating Creamy Boursin Chicken Pasta is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Pour Chicken Broth: Add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.
5. Incorporate Boursin Cheese: Lower the heat and add the Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
6. Mix in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat all the pasta with the creamy sauce.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
