Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin lengthwise
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (8-ounce) package room temperature cream cheese cubed
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Cut 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, in half lengthwise to about 1 inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken 7-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • To the skillet, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and melt. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer and add 1 (8-ounce) package room temperature cream cheese. Whisk to melt the cream cheese.
  • Whisk in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and coat it with the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, then serve over potatoes or rice!

Notes

Storage Instructions
  • In the Refrigerator: Store leftover cream cheese chicken in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Do not freeze- cream cheese doesn't freeze well.
