Instructions
Creating Boursin Chicken Pasta is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
6. Mix Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta thoroughly in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired creaminess.
7. Final Seasoning: Taste your dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the pasta to serving bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
