Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin lengthwise
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8-ounce) package room temperature cream cheese cubed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cut 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, in half lengthwise to about 1 inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken 7-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
To the skillet, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and melt. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.
Bring the broth to a simmer and add 1 (8-ounce) package room temperature cream cheese. Whisk to melt the cream cheese.
Whisk in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat it with the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, then serve over potatoes or rice!

Notes

Storage Instructions
