Ingredients
- 1 small onion diced small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lbs chicken breasts 2-3 chicken breasts
- 2 5.3 oz Boursin cheese Garlic and Fine Herbs
- 1 qt chicken broth 4 cups
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lbs short cup pasta
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a 3.5 quart skillet.
- Saute the onion and garlic over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the onions become translucent and the garlic fragrant.
- To the pan layer in pasta, tomatoes, chicken breasts, and crumbled Boursin cheese. Season with salt and add the chicken broth, pushing as much of the pasta below the liquid as you can.
- Cover the pan and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, and check that the thickest part of the chicken breast with an instant-read thermometer reaches 165°F/75°C. Next, shred the chicken breasts with two forks right in the pan. The liquid in the pan will thicken to create a creamy Boursin sauce as you shred the chicken.
- Stir in 3 cups of spinach and sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese. Return the uncovered pan to the oven and bake for 10 additional minutes to melt the cheese.
Leftovers and Storage
- Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven with a bit of heavy cream to keep the sauce creamy.
- I don't recommend freezing it as the cream sauce tends to break and become grainy or watery.
