Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs boneless, skinless

Pasta

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni)

Sauce Base

  • 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz / 150 g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter for cooking

Finishing Touches

  • Toss drained pasta into the sauce, coating well. Top with sliced chicken, Parmesan, and fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Try adding spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition. Swap chicken for shrimp for a seafood variation.
