Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce is smooth and bubbly.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve warm, drizzled with the creamy sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
Serve alongside rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. Can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
