Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook the chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Melt butter with vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir flour through the butter mixture; cook and stir until flour is incorporated, about 1 minute more. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the saucepan; stir. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
- Plate the chicken breasts. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve extra sauce on the side.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE
Recipe video above. The creamy mushroom sauce here is a cut above the usual basic recipes, thanks to the additions of wine, parmesan and chicken stock. It turns this quick chicken dinner into a meal that's both worthy and elegant enough to serve to company!It's an excellent sauce to serve with chicken breast, which is very lean and doesn't actually have very much flavour. Also, the lightly-floured crust on the chicken makes it nice and crispy, giving the sauce something to cling on to. So don't skip it!

Steps:
- Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
- Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
- Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
- Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
- Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
- Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
- Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
- Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
- Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

Aunt Mary's was a popular brunch restaurant in San Francisco that served Mexican and Salvadoran dishes. My wife and I went every Sunday for a late breakfast. She always ordered Huevos Rancheros; my usual was Pollo en Crema.

Steps:
- Combine chicken (breast-side up), chicken broth, water, Mexican crema, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Turn chicken over using a pair of tongs. Cover stockpot and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from mixture and set aside.
- Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cut chicken into serving-size pieces and return to stockpot; stir in chopped cilantro and cook until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts remain juicy and tender, it's crucial to cook them over medium heat. Avoid high heat, as it can quickly overcook and dry out the chicken.
- To achieve a flavorful and creamy sauce, use high-quality chicken broth. If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can substitute it with water and add a chicken bouillon cube for extra flavor.
- Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking. You can add various herbs and spices to the sauce, such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, or paprika, for a more complex flavor profile.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux (a mixture of equal parts melted butter and flour) towards the end of the cooking process. This will help thicken the sauce without compromising its creamy texture.
- Serve the chicken breasts in cream sauce immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best. You can pair them with various sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
