Why I love this recipe:

  • Less than 30-Minute Meal – Boursin pasta is often my dinner solution on busy nights when I’m short on time and ingredients. It’s one of our favorites!

  • Picky Eater Approved – Every picky kid (or spouse) will devour this creamy pasta dish. We never have leftovers.

How to make Boursin Cheese Pasta:

Cook pasta in salted boiling water, according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain, but reserve pasta water.

Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, turning once, until cooked through (165 degrees F). Remove to a plate to rest for a few minutes, before chopping into pieces.
