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)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Stir the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
