Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts across the grain into cutlets. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
6 mins

Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and combined. Lightly brown the seasoned chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate to keep warm.

03

Step
2 mins

Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

04

Step
2 mins

Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in white wine (or chicken broth) and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 2 minutes). Reduce heat to low.

05

Step
5 mins

Create the Sauce: Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes (with juice), Boursin cheese, and Italian seasoning. Continue stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted (about 5 minutes). Then, stir in the chopped spinach until it wilts.

06

Step
5 mins

Finish the Dish: Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, ensuring each cutlet is coated in the sauce. Heat through until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

07

Step
1 mins

Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh minced chives before serving.

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream or crème fraîche in addition to the Boursin cheese.
If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, regular diced tomatoes work well, just add a pinch of smoked paprika for a similar flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the skillet along with the onions.
To prevent the spinach from becoming too soggy, add it just before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
