A: YES YOU CAN!

So, what actually is Boursin cheese? Boursin is the brand name of a soft, creamy-style French cheese (called Gournay) that is flavored with various things.

Finally, in 1963, François was satisfied with his authentic Gournay cheese and garlic creation, and he introduced it to the world. Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese was served at celebrations and gatherings throughout France, and it quickly became a household name.

How long can you keep your Boursin cheese after opening it? For our Boursin Minis Shallot & Chive and Garlic & Fine Herbs, the shelf life in the fridge at a temperature of 1 to 4° C is 5 days. For Boursin Cuisine, this goes up to 10 days.

Another sign that a cheese has gone bad is a smell or taste of spoiled, sour milk. Fresh cheeses should not smell, chef Nora Singley writes in her "Cheesemonger" blog for the cooking site The Kitchn.

How long past the "best before" date is Boursin Cheese okay to eat? For best quality, we recommend only eating Boursin Cheese by the date that is printed on the package.

You can also enjoy our creamy herb cheese on its own on a cracker, artisan bread, or bagel. Our delicate cheese spread pairs wonderfully with most wines and complements any dinner party or event.

What do you eat with Boursin? ›

Assorted crackers: choose a variety of crackers – Try flatbreads, crackers with dried fruit and nuts and even rice crackers for your gluten-free guests. Fresh fruit and nuts: Fruit and nuts are a great palette brightener, balancing out the saltiness of the cheese.

Delicious Boursin Cheese Alternative: Same Flavor & Easy Substitution. Cream cheese, Beecher's handmade cheese and Laughing Cow are the top 3 Boursin cheese substitute. Gorgonzola is also good.

The best tenderizer though, is a salted yogurt marinade. The salt has the same effect as in a regular brine, but the lactic acid in the yogurt further tenderizes the meat. A 15-minute marinade with one cup of yogurt and one teaspoon of salt makes for the most tender chicken breasts imaginable.

Her suggestion: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a pan in a single layer, cover with a few inches of liquid (water, broth, etc.), add flavorings (spices, salt, herbs, soy sauce, etc.), then bring the liquid just barely to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the liquid simmers.

Because chicken isn't a very fatty cut of meat, you'll want to add some fat to keep the meat hydrated. Most recipes use butter or oil for cooking chicken, but mayo is the better fat option when it comes to producing juicy chicken.

Salt the chicken generously all over

A generous amount of salt—after you've dried the chicken well with paper towels—will help the interior of the bird stay moist while crisping the skin and enhancing the flavor.
