A very flavorful little recipe that has dinner on the table in 30 minutes. The spreadable cheese makes a wonderful little cheese sauce as it melts and is the heart of this dish. Recipe comes from 12tomatoes.com and picture also comes from 12tomatoes.com.

How To Make chicken with creamy herb sauce

1
Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

2
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and cook chicken breasts until opaque and no longer pink. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3
To the same skillet, heat remaining oil and sauté shallot and garlic, with basis, oregano, and tarragon, for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
4
Stir in herb cheese (like Boursin), broth, lemon juice and zest, and whisk together until smooth. Then sprinkle in flour and whisk until incorporated.
5
Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
6
Return chicken to skillet and cook another 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Garnish, as desired, with fresh herbs and serve hot over pasta or rice.
