Instructions
 

Cooking Pasta

  • Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it’s at a rolling boil, add your choice of pasta, such as fettuccine. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Preparing Chicken

  • While the pasta cooks, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season your chicken breast with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. SautĂ© for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safety.

Adding Garlic and Spinach

  • After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and fresh spinach. SautĂ© for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the garlic becomes fragrant.

Creating the Creamy Sauce

  • Add the Boursin cheese to the skillet with the garlic and spinach. Stir well, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

Combining Everything

  • Drain the pasta once it’s cooked, reserving a bit of the pasta water. Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the creamy Boursin sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. If needed, add more pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Serving

  • Slice the chicken and place it on top of the pasta. For an extra touch, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
