Chicken with Garlic Cream Sauce

Categories: dinner

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 3 lg cloves garlic - minced
• 4 scallions - chopped, green parts
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tbl parsley
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tbl flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat oil; add garlic and green onions, stirring/cook for a few more minutes.

2. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 min. Add cream cheese and parsley, set aside (stirring occasionally to disperse the cream cheese).

3. You can also thicken the sauce a bit using some corn starch and water (which you do while its boiling) or add about 1/2-3/4 cup less broth.

4. Wash/dry chicken and pound to a thin even thickness for even cooking. I let my kids do this in a ziplock baggie.

5. Combine flour with salt/pepper.

6. Dip chicken into the flour and set aside.

7. Heat olive oil in a frying pan.

8. Brown chicken breasts for exactly 3 minutes on each side (do not crowd).

9. Add cream sauce and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until done.

10. BTW…this recipe doubles nicely and exactly (double all ingredients) . Best served over rice with a green veggie (like peas or snap beans). :)
