Follow The Directions

01

Step

Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large, nonstick skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the chicken tenders and cook until nicely browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside to keep warm. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes)

03

Step

Add the thinly sliced shallots to the same skillet and stir for about 30 seconds, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to soften and release their moisture, about 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and Herbes de Provence, cooking and stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Pour in the chicken stock and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the asparagus pieces and a pinch of salt. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Return the chicken tenders to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Pour any accumulated juices from the plate over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink at the center, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken tender should read 165°F (74°C). (Cook time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Turn off the heat. Add the roughly chopped Boursin cheese to the skillet and gently stir until it is melted and incorporated into the sauce, creating a creamy consistency. (Cook time: 1 minute)

07

Step

Garnish with fresh snipped chives, if desired. Serve the Boursin Chicken, Mushroom, and Asparagus Skillet immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete and satisfying meal.

For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of tenders. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.
If you don't have Herbes de Provence, you can substitute with a blend of dried thyme, rosemary, and savory.
To make this dish even more decadent, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream along with the Boursin cheese.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
