Categories     Chicken     Low Carb

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons butter
1-2 teaspoons McCormick Rotisserie Chicken seasoning *
3 ounces cream cheese, cubed
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 of 1 small lime
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, about 2 big handfuls

Steps:

  • While heating the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, liberally season the chicken on both sides with the rotisserie chicken seasoning. Don't bother measuring the seasoning, just use as much as necessary. Brown the chicken on both sides in the hot butter. Remove the chicken from the pan. Add the cream cheese and cream to the drippings in the skillet. Over low heat, whisk to blend well as the cream cheese melts. Whisk in the lime juice and stir in the cilantro. Return the chicken to the pan; cover and simmer 15 minutes, turning after about 7 minutes. When chicken is cooked through, place on serving plates and pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce over each serving. The sauce doesn't reheat well. Makes 4 servings Do not freeze * Although the original recipe called for it, I didn't notice any particular flavor from this seasoning and you could substitute your favorite seasoning salt. Watch out for sugar though. Most of the commercial blends contain sugar. Some kind of Mexican seasoning would be nice in this too.
