Lana's Notes:

Easy and delicious,using asparagus makes it INCREDIBLE!

Directions

Prepare rice,set aside{I prefer to cook in a chicken broth for best flavor}

Meanwhile,mix cracker crumbs and Parmesan on a plate.

Rinse chicken with water,shake off excess water.Dip the chicken in the crumb mixture,turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast.discard remaining crumb mixture.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat.Add chicken.Cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until done.Transfer to plate,cover to keep warm.

Add broth and reduced=fat cream cheese to skillet,bring just to a boil,stirring constantly.
Cook about 3 minutes,or until thickened,stirring frequently.

Spoon over the chicken;serve with the rice and steamed asparagus.A great meal.
