Juicy slow-cooked chicken and a deliciously cheesy sauce make this Crockpot Boursin chicken recipe a repeat in my kitchen! The rich and tangy Boursin cheese is a fantastic shortcut for a flavorful cream sauce, and the set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker method frees up valuable time with foolproof results. I can’t get enough of it!

Before You Get Started

This recipe calls for dry white wine, like a sauvignon blanc or a pinot grigio. If you prefer not to use wine, you can replace it with an equal amount of chicken broth (or even water if you need to). Whatever you do, don’t replace the wine with juice!

How to Make This Recipe

See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.

Make the sauce.

You can use a microwave or the stove, whichever you’d like! Either way, you want to heat the chicken broth, Boursin cheese, and white wine together until the cheese has melted. Once that happens, whisk everything together until you’ve got a nice, smooth mixture. After that, whisk in the rest of the sauce ingredients until incorporated.

Cheryl’s Tip: Make sure the Boursin is room temperature before you start making the sauce. If it’s cold and you heat it up too quickly, it can curdle or separate and ruin the consistency of the sauce.

Set it and forget it.

Pop the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season them generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over them, then cover the Crockpot and set your cook time and temp. Now you can sit back and relax until dinner’s ready!

What I Love About This Recipe

This is one chicken dish I think I could eat every week, if we’re being completely honest here. It’s so easy, and I just LOVE Boursin. The sauce is incredible – cheesy and flavorful and perfectly creamy. The chicken comes out super juicy and tender. And it’s a Crockpot recipe, so you can go check things off your to-do list while dinner takes care of itself!
Crockpot Boursin chicken is super versatile so you could serve it with just about anything and it’ll be a total hit. Personally, I love it with mashed potatoes (especially if you mix some of the sauce into them – YUM!) but it’s just as good with pasta or green veggies.

Recipe Variations

Find Your Flavor: I only used salt and pepper to season the chicken because I want all the flavors of the Boursin to shine. You’re welcome to add other spices to the chicken if you’d like! You can also change up the dish each time you make it by using different flavors of Boursin. Garlic & Fine Herbs is a classic but I love them all!
Make it Keto: Replace the cornstarch in this recipe with xanthan gum – just be careful not to use too much! Too much xanthan gum will give you a gummy, slimy mixture rather than the smooth Boursin sauce we want. The general rule of thumb is to use ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum for every 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, so for this recipe, you’ll only need 1 ½ teaspoons of xanthan gum max.

Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions or variations listed are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.
