Recipe from Pinterest_ChefJar

This dish is delicious served over flat egg noodles and can be eaten right away
or dished up and heated left over for 2-3 days.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4
  • ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion very finely diced
  • 4 oz. baby spinach leaves optional
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • 1 x 5 oz. pack of Boursin Garlic & Herbs Cheese at room temperature
  • Salt & Pepper as needed

Instructions

  • Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 4 even-sized pieces. In a large shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shake off excess, and set aside.
  • In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for a few minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are nearly cooked through. Transfer them to a plate, lower the heat to medium.
  • In the same pan, toss in the spinach and cook for about 30 seconds until it starts to wilt, then take it out and set it aside.
  • Cook the onion for a couple of minutes until it's soft. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and mix in the Boursin until it's well combined with the stock. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Return the spinach and the chicken, simmer for about 30 seconds to thicken. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of stock; if too thin, simmer more. 
  • Serve and enjoy!
