Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Whisk continuously until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and paprika to the skillet. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside a side of your choice!
