Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 c flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbsp oil
1 4 oz. package cream cheese
1 1/2 c chicken broth
1 green onion, chopped (or chopped parsley, to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix salt and pepper to taste with flour. Cut chicken breasts into serving size pieces; dip in beaten egg, then coat well with flour mixture.
  • 2. Brown chicken breasts in oil til golden and cooked through. It will just take a few minutes; don't overcook or it will become dry. Remove from pan.
  • 3. Pour chicken broth into pan; stir, scraping up chicken drippings. Meanwhile, heat cream cheese in microwave until very soft, 15 - 20 seconds. Add to chicken broth. Stir over medium heat until cream cheese dissolves into broth - don't worry if it does not become perfectly smooth, it will still taste good!
  • 4. Add chicken back to pan, turning over to coat all sides with sauce. Heat for a few additional minutes, until all is heated through.
  • 5. Remove chicken to serving platter or individual plates, top with sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions (or parsley). Serve with pasta or rice to soak up the tasty sauce!
