chicken breasts with cream cheese sauce
For a simple recipe this really packs a lot of flavor! This is easy and good, and looks quite elegant! I copied this recipe from a magazine advertisement for cream cheese. You can fiddle with the recipe to suit your taste - I sometimes alter the amounts of broth or cheese for a different consistancy or flavor intensity. For kids, just leave off the green onions - all ages enjoy this! Easy to double or triple!

How To Make chicken breasts with cream cheese sauce
-
Step 1Mix salt and pepper to taste with flour. Cut chicken breasts into serving size pieces; dip in beaten egg, then coat well with flour mixture.

Step 2Brown 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.

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!
