Just Follow Our Simple Steps

Chicken in Creamy Pan Sauce - Step 1

1. PLACE the chicken inside a resealable plastic bag, along with the flour; seal bag. Shake chicken around a bit to coat evenly with the flour. Set aside.

2. HEAT oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 5 to 6 min. on each side or until it's cooked through (170 °F). Remove chicken, reserving drippings in the skillet. Cover chicken to keep warm.

3. ADD broth to the skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up all those flavourful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

4. ADD the cream cheese spread. Cook 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is melted and the sauce starts to thicken, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.

5. RETURN the chicken to skillet; turn over to coat both sides with the creamy sauce. Cook 2 min. or until the chicken is heated through.

6. TRANSFER chicken to a serving platter. You can sprinkle with parsley, but I like to top it with a cup of quartered cherry tomatoes before drizzling with sauce, and then 2 Tbsp. of fresh basil.

Makes 4 servings, 1/4 recipe each.

3 WAYS TO JAZZ IT UP: Instead of parsley to garnish, use your favourite chopped fresh herb. For a zesty flavour kick, try stirring in 2 Tbsp. of Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese or 2 tsp. Dijon mustard into the sauce before the final 2 minutes of simmering. Or you can top with 1 cup baby spinach leaves and sprinkle with 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon.
