Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth.
Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine. Then add the heavy cream and continue stirring until the sauce is creamy and well-blended.
Stir the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to combine.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through and coat the chicken in the sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
