– 8 oz (about 225g) pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
Creating Creamy Boursin Chicken Pasta is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
4. Add Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
5. Make Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in the Boursin cheese, mixing until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together to coat in the sauce.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
8. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
