How to make Boursin Cheese Pasta:
Cook pasta in salted boiling water, according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain, but reserve pasta water.
Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, turning once, until cooked through (165 degrees F). Remove to a plate to rest for a few minutes, before chopping into pieces.
Make Boursin Cheese Pasta Sauce: Add butter to pan then fry shallots for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Add 1 cup reserved pasta water to the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Whisk in Boursin cheese until melted and smooth.
Assemble: Add cooked pasta and chicken to the pan then toss to evenly coat in sauce. Add a splash of pasta water, if needed, to thin the sauce then season with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with fresh parmesan and parsley then serve boursin pasta hot with homemade breadsticks and a wedge salad.

Making this for the 2nd time tonight; my entire family LOVED this so much including my 11 yr old Grandson! Easy, quick & “guests” quality!
