Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 wheel of camembert cheese, rind removed and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly.
  6. Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir well to combine with the broth.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed camembert cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  10. Serve the camembert chicken hot with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
