Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened

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.

Categories     Poultry

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (or 4 boneless, skinless breasts)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2-2/3 cup water (for sauteing chicken)
6 ounces cream cheese, cubed (if you like a thicker, richer sauce use 8 ounces cream cheese)
3/4 cup milk (adjust depending on how thin or thick a sauce you like)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (red, white or black pepper)
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes (to garnish) or 2 dashes chives (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with seasoning salt and garlic powder, and set aside.
  • In a microwaveable bowl, mix cream cheese, milk, garlic powder and pepper.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking and stirring until cream cheese is melted.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
  • Add chicken to pan and saute at medium heat adding small amounts of water to pan, as needed, so that chicken doesn't get too dry or stick to pan. The chicken will release juices that blend with the water.
  • When chicken is cooked through, but there is still some of this "juicy water" in the pan, add the sauce to the pan and cook until heated through.
  • Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and arrange on a bed of white rice.
  • Spoon or pour sauce over the chicken and then sprinkle with parsley or chives.
  • NOTE: I usually serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli drizzled in heated olive oil (I season the heated olive oil with lime juice and garlic powder). YUMMY!
