CHICKEN BREAST BOURSIN

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are having Chicken Breast Boursin for dinner. On the side we'll be having roasted potatoes and green beans.

Amy Z said...: Chicken Breast Boursin - This was actually quite good. There is no way my husband and boys will eat sauce with Boursin in it so I just cooked the chicken in the wine and cream and then they ate it that way. Surprisingly they loved it. Then for myself, I went ahead and made up some of the cheese sauce. I didn't have Boursin so I used some Laughing Cow cheese. It worked great. I don't know how you would make enough sauce for all the servings though. There was no liquid left in the pan when I removed the chicken so I added another round of the white wine and cream. Oh, and instead of cream I used half and half.; June 2, 2012 at 10:14 AM

How do I do it?

This question gets asked a lot so I thought I would explain my "method" here. I will admit, I'm a bit on the OCD side but anyone can do this. First, I keep a file in MS Word with recipes. I have files for desserts, appetizers, main dishes, etc. Anytime I find a recipe I like, they go in the files. Then I keep a list of all the file names in MS Excel. I grocery shop every two weeks on Thursdays. So, by the Wednesday before shopping day, I need to have my week's menu planned out and I make my grocery list from that. I put everything I'm making those two weeks into an email and print it out and hang them on my fridge. It's really that simple! Sure, my family can make requests for things but they need to do it before I shop for the week. Otherwise, we're having what's on the menu. I make sure and plan crock pot meals when I know I won't be home to cook and I plan "harder" meals when I know I'll be home and have a lot of time. I do frequent quite a few cooking sites on the web so I'm constantly getting new recipes to try but other than that, the meal planning takes me about 30 minutes every two weeks total. Once you get a good system down, it's not hard at all!
