- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet pan over medium high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add into the hot skillet.

- Add the Boursin cheese and chili flakes to the skillet, simmer, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts. Pour the cream in and simmer for another minute or two until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken breasts and their juices back to the pan. Spoon the warm sauce over the chicken.
- Remove skillet from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad. Enjoy!
