You need just a handful of ingredients to make this creamy, flavorful chicken on the stovetop, and it’s ready in about 20 minutes.\nI love easy chicken recipes like this one that\ncome together quickly in a skillet on the stovetop.\nI love them so much that I have several variations on this simple method!\nMy most popular recipe,\nMarry Me Chicken\n, is one that you need to try ASAP if you haven’t already.

Pound thicker pieces with a meat mallet to match the rest.\n- **Cream Cheese:** Stick with full-fat for a smooth, creamy sauce. Low-fat won’t melt right.\n- **Chicken Stock:** Adds just enough liquid to loosen the cream cheese without watering down flavor.\n- **Garlic:** Fresh cloves pack more punch than jarred or powder. Mince and sauté until fragrant.\n- **Parmesan:** Grate fresh for better melt and a sharper, savory kick.\n- **Seasonings:** Dijon mustard brings tang, Italian herb blend adds depth, and red pepper flakes give a hint of heat.\n## **Recipe Tips**\n- **You may need to cook the chicken cutlets in batches.** If your pan isn’t large enough, be sure not to crowd the chicken into the pan. You want plenty of room around each cutlet so that they will brown.\n- **Don’t burn the garlic.** After adding the garlic to the skillet, be sure that you’re ready to add in the other sauce ingredients right away. The garlic only needs a minute or less in the pan to become aromatic, and burnt garlic will ruin the flavor of your dish.\n- **Add vegetables.** I stirred in some sautéed mushrooms at the end, but you could just as easily sauté them in the pan before making the sauce, too. The same is true for peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. Spinach can be added and wilted down at the end as well.\n- If you need to keep the chicken warm while you make the sauce, lightly tent it with foil. Don’t cover it too tightly, or the chicken will continue to cook and become dry.\n\n**Did you make this?** Be sure to [leave a review below](https:\/\/littlesunnykitchen.com\/cream-cheese-chicken\/#respond) and tag me on [Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/littlesunnykitchen\/), [Instagram](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/littlesunnykitchen\/), or [Pinterest](https:\/\/www.pinterest.co.uk\/lilsunnykitchen\/_created\/)\\!\n\nEasy cream cheese chicken combines tender chicken breasts with a rich and flavorful cream cheese sauce for a delicious and simple dinner.\n\n4 Servings\n\nEasy cream cheese chicken combines tender chicken breasts with a rich and flavorful cream cheese sauce for a delicious and simple dinner.\n\n- ▢\n  2-3   chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into cutlets\n- ▢\n  Salt and pepper\n- ▢\n  1 tablespoon  (15 ml) olive oil not extra virgin\n- ▢\n  2 tablespoons  (28 g) unsalted butter\n- ▢\n  3 cloves   garlic minced or crushed\n- ▢\n  8 ounces  (225 g) cream cheese\n- ▢\n  1 teaspoon   Dijon mustard\n- ▢\n  1 teaspoon   [Italian seasoning](https:\/\/littlesunnykitchen.com\/italian-seasoning\/)\n- ▢\n  1 cup  (240 ml) chicken stock\n- ▢\n  \\&frac12; cup  (43 g) shredded parmesan cheese\n- ▢\n  \\&frac14; teaspoon   red pepper flakes optional\n- ▢\n  1 teaspoon   fresh chopped parsley optional\n\n- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Boilerpipe Text	Make this recipe for Easy Cream Cheese Chicken for dinner tonight! You need just a handful of ingredients to make this creamy, flavorful chicken on the stovetop, and it’s ready in about 20 minutes. I love easy chicken recipes like this one that come together quickly in a skillet on the stovetop. I love them so much that I have several variations on this simple method! My most popular recipe, Marry Me Chicken , is one that you need to try ASAP if you haven’t already. I know you’ll also enjoy Creamy Chicken Lazone , Chicken Florentine , and Creamy Lemon Chicken . If you like the idea of making a quick and easy sauce with cream cheese, you’ll love this slight twist on the concept: Boursin Chicken is rich and creamy and super simple, because all of the seasonings are in the cheesy spread! Ingredient Notes Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. Chicken: Use evenly sliced boneless, skinless cutlets for quick, even cooking. Pound thicker pieces with a meat mallet to match the rest. Cream Cheese: Stick with full-fat for a smooth, creamy sauce. Low-fat won’t melt right. Chicken Stock: Adds just enough liquid to loosen the cream cheese without watering down flavor. Garlic: Fresh cloves pack more punch than jarred or powder. Mince and sauté until fragrant. Parmesan: Grate fresh for better melt and a sharper, savory kick. Seasonings: Dijon mustard brings tang, Italian herb blend adds depth, and red pepper flakes give a hint of heat. Recipe Tips You may need to cook the chicken cutlets in batches. If your pan isn’t large enough, be sure not to crowd the chicken into the pan. You want plenty of room around each cutlet so that they will brown. Don’t burn the garlic. After adding the garlic to the skillet, be sure that you’re ready to add in the other sauce ingredients right away. The garlic only needs a minute or less in the pan to become aromatic, and burnt garlic will ruin the flavor of your dish. Add vegetables. I stirred in some sautéed mushrooms at the end, but you could just as easily sauté them in the pan before making the sauce, too. The same is true for peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. Spinach can be added and wilted down at the end as well. If you need to keep the chicken warm while you make the sauce, lightly tent it with foil. Don’t cover it too tightly, or the chicken will continue to cook and become dry. Did you make this? Be sure to leave a review below and tag me on Facebook , Instagram , or Pinterest !

Readable Markdown	Make this recipe for Easy Cream Cheese Chicken for dinner tonight! You need just a handful of ingredients to make this creamy, flavorful chicken on the stovetop, and it’s ready in about 20 minutes. ![a skillet of creamy cream cheese chicken](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cream-Cheese-Chicken-1.jpg) I love easy chicken recipes like this one that come together quickly in a skillet on the stovetop. I love them so much that I have several variations on this simple method! My most popular recipe, [Marry Me Chicken](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/marry-me-chicken/), is one that you need to try ASAP if you haven’t already. I know you’ll also enjoy [Creamy Chicken Lazone](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/web-stories/creamy-chicken-lazone/), [Chicken Florentine](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/chicken-florentine/), and [Creamy Lemon Chicken](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/creamy-lemon-chicken/). If you like the idea of making a quick and easy sauce with cream cheese, you’ll love this slight twist on the concept: [Boursin Chicken](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/creamy-boursin-chicken/) is rich and creamy and super simple, because all of the seasonings are in the cheesy spread\! ![a plate of chicken cutlets in a cream cheese sauce with mushrooms. ](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cream-Cheese-Chicken-5.jpg) ## Ingredient Notes Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. ![The ingredients needed to make chicken with cream cheese alfredo sauce](https://littlesunnykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cream-Cheese-Chicken-Ingredients-1.jpg) - Chicken: Use evenly sliced boneless, skinless cutlets for quick, even cooking. Pound thicker pieces with a meat mallet to match the rest. - Cream Cheese: Stick with full-fat for a smooth, creamy sauce. Low-fat won’t melt right. - Chicken Stock: Adds just enough liquid to loosen the cream cheese without watering down flavor. - Garlic: Fresh cloves pack more punch than jarred or powder. Mince and sauté until fragrant. - Parmesan: Grate fresh for better melt and a sharper, savory kick. - Seasonings: Dijon mustard brings tang, Italian herb blend adds depth, and red pepper flakes give a hint of heat. ## Recipe Tips - You may need to cook the chicken cutlets in batches. If your pan isn’t large enough, be sure not to crowd the chicken into the pan. You want plenty of room around each cutlet so that they will brown. - Don’t burn the garlic. After adding the garlic to the skillet, be sure that you’re ready to add in the other sauce ingredients right away. The garlic only needs a minute or less in the pan to become aromatic, and burnt garlic will ruin the flavor of your dish. - Add vegetables. I stirred in some sautéed mushrooms at the end, but you could just as easily sauté them in the pan before making the sauce, too. The same is true for peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. Spinach can be added and wilted down at the end as well. - If you need to keep the chicken warm while you make the sauce, lightly tent it with foil. Don’t cover it too tightly, or the chicken will continue to cook and become dry. Did you make this?
