2x 250g/9oz Chicken Breasts, (brought close to room temp)

40g / 1/4 cup Plain/All Purpose Flour

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp EACH: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper

1 tbsp EACH: Olive Oil, Butter (preferably unsalted)

2 Shallots, (very finely diced)

100-120g / 3-4oz Baby Spinach Leaves, (optional, see notes)

180ml / 3/4 cup Chicken Stock

1x 5oz/150g pack of Boursin Garlic & Herbs Cheese, (at room temp)

Instructions

Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. In a large shallow dish, whisk together flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast through the flour to fully coat, then shake and place to one side.

Heat up the oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes on each side, or until they've built up a golden crust and are just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place on a plate to one side and lower the heat to medium.

Optional: Add the spinach and fry for 30 seconds or so until it just begins to wilt, then remove and place to one side.

Add the shallots and fry for a few minutes until soft and golden, adding a dash of oil to the pan if you need to. Pour in the chicken stock then stir in the Boursin until it blends into the stock.

Gently bubble away for a few minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in the spinach and resting juices from the chicken and simmer for 30 seconds or so to re-thicken, then add the chicken and baste in the sauce to warm it back through. Stir in a splash of stock to thin out the sauce if needed, or continue simmering if it's still a little thin.

Adjust seasoning if needed (go easy on the salt) then tuck in and enjoy!
