Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms

If you are looking for a recipe to knock the socks off of your guests, my chicken with mushrooms, shallots and Boursin cheese will become your new best friend!

My friend Peter was coming for dinner the other night and knew that I wanted to “wow” him.  I was thinking it had to be something rich in flavor, simple, elegant and a recipe that left you wanting more.

As inspiration, I kept thinking back to a recipe I acquired, years ago, using a pre-made gorgonzola cheese, cranberries and pecans.  Because I couldn’t find the gorgonzola spread, I decided to use a shallot and chive Boursin cheese (Boursin cheese is a soft, spreadable cheese, it is creamy and melts perfect for recipes as it won’t curdle).

I served this chicken dish with my quinoa and roasted vegetables and made some roasted okra

This is such a simple, elegant and flavorful recipe…while it was rich in flavor, it was not over the top rich.  The chicken was perfectly cooked, the quinoa complemented this dish and the roasted okra sent this dinner over the top, I’m telling you, I knocked Peter’s socks off!
