How To Make Keto-Friendly Boursin Chicken
To prepare the chicken, start by slicing the chicken breast in half horizontally and seasoning it with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter over medium heat. Brown the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Once done, transfer the chicken onto a plate and set it aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onion until it turns translucent, which takes about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock to the skillet and deglaze the pan by scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Then, proceed to make the creamy herb sauce.

Lower the heat to medium-low, and add Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is fully combined with the chicken stock.
Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, then season it with Italian spices, chili flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Next, put the chicken back into the skillet with the sauce and let it simmer and thicken for a few minutes.
Finally, garnish the dish with chopped fresh basil leaves. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 weeks.
