How to Make One Pan Boursin Chicken Risotto

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential as we’ll be finishing the risotto in the oven, which makes it so creamy!
In a large oven-safe skillet, combine chopped chicken, arborio rice, diced garlic, onion, chicken broth, and milk. Allow the mixture to come to a boil while stirring occasionally oh, the smell alone is divine already!
Once it’s boiling, cover and place your skillet in the preheated oven, baking for about 18-20 minutes. You want that chicken thoroughly cooked, and the rice should be creamy and al dente!
After baking, remove it from the oven and stir in the Boursin cheese until melted and well combined. Watch how it transforms the rice into a luscious, cheesy concoction, just heavenly! Make sure to scrape the yummy bits off the bottom for all that extra flavor.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley or extra cheese if you like. It’s just a joyful bowl of comfort food that’ll have everyone asking for seconds!

Serving & Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions

I love pairing this risotto with a fresh green salad or roasted veggies to balance out the richness. It’s also great with a crunchy bread on the side for dipping more comfort, please!

Storage

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days! Just make sure it’s in a sealed container to keep all the flavor locked in.

Reheating Instructions

For the best results, gently reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk to loosen it up. It can also be microwaved in a pinch, just cover it to prevent splattering and stir it halfway.

Freezer Friendly

Honestly, I’m a little hesitant on this one. While you can freeze it, I find the texture changes a bit once thawed. But if you must, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Just remember to thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating!
