Easy Cream Cheese Chicken

Ingredients for Easy Cream Cheese Chicken:

Yellow onion - 1 small (finely chopped)

Garlic - 4 cloves (peeled and minced)

Dill - 1 small bunch (leaves only, coarsely chopped)

Cream cheese - 8 oz (cut into 8 pieces)

Chicken breasts - 2 pounds (about 4 breasts)

Kosher salt - as needed

Ground black pepper - as needed (divided)

Olive oil - as needed (divided)

Dry white wine - 1/2 cup

Chicken broth - 1 1/2 cup

Dijon mustard - 2 tsp.

Red pepper flakes - 1/4 tsp.

Method of preparing the Easy Cream Cheese Chicken:

Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat up olive oil over medium-high. Cook the chicken on both sides until golden but not fully cooked. Set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. To the same pan, add the onion and garlic. If needed, add more oil, and cook the onions until tender. Then add 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer, frequently stirring for another minute.
To the same pan, add the chicken broth, cream cheese, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Simmer the sauce until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
Transfer the chicken back to the pan and bring the sauce back to a simmer. Then cover with a lid and continue cooking until the chicken is completely cooked. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
Garnish the chicken with dill and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve with a side dish of your choice.

Chef's Tip:

You can use any type of chicken meat in this recipe, but chicken breasts work the best, from our experience.
