It’s perfect for those busy weeknights but elegant enough for company! It’s the perfect way to use up those boneless skinless chicken breasts.\nPin this recipe!\nWay back in 2011, I posted this recipe for my Easy Chicken with Cream Cheese Pan Sauce. It was on the regular rotation at our house way back then and continues to be today. We probably make it a couple times a month. \nThis super delicious cream cheese sauce is a great way to dress up boring boneless skinless chicken breasts. And it’s super easy, too! The seasoning from the chicken, combined with the fond (that’s the brown stuff on the bottom of the pan after cooking the chicken), chicken broth, cream cheese, and just a hint of mustard creates a decadent sauce that you’ll probably want to pour over everything on your plate – like these\nmashed potatoes\n. At least that’s what happens at our house! Ha!  \nWhat is pan sauce?\nSimply put, pan sauce is a sauce made in the same pan that you cooked your meat in. Traditionally, it is made by deglazing the pan with a liquid, such as stock or water. The liquid will loosen the cooked-on bits that have stuck to the pan. Those bits will add flavor to the sauce. You can then add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or cream.\nPan sauces are a great way to add flavor and richness to your meal. They’re also relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. And an added bonus… less cleanup because the meat and sauce are all made in one pan!\nTips on pan-cooking chicken:\nThe most challenging thing about this Chicken with Pan Sauce is getting the chicken cooked correctly – but even that’s not too hard. You want to get the chicken cooked through, without burning the outside. Here are a few tips for cooking that perfect chicken:\nThickness matters!\nThe super thick chicken breasts from the grocery store won’t work the way they come. I suggest taking a sharp knife and slicing each breast in half lengthwise to create two pieces of chicken that are roughly 3\/4 to 1-inch thick. If you still find them too thick, put them between two pieces of cling wrap or in a gallon zip-top bag and pound them thinner with a meat mallet. This will allow them to cook through quicker.\nUse a meat thermometer!\nI always recommend an instant-read meat thermometer. Not only does this ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature, but it allows you to cook it right to 165° without going over and causing it to get dry. No one wants dry chicken. And, that’s the chief complaint I get from folks about using boneless skinless chicken breasts, so use that thermometer!\nYou can use chicken thighs and frozen chicken breasts!\nThis will also work with boneless chicken thighs. I’ve also been known to use some of those frozen chicken breasts that you buy in the big bag. Most of the time, those are thin enough to not need to be sliced. Just make sure they’re completely thawed before using them.\nHow do I quickly bring cream cheese to room temperature?\nThere are several ways you can bring cream cheese to room temperature quickly. Here are three different methods I recommend:\nSubmerge\nin a large mixing bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes.\nMicrowave\nthe cream cheese in 15-second intervals. Don’t over nuke it though! No one wants scorched cream cheese.\nPlace in your hands\nwhile still in the packaging for about 15 minutes. Press the packaging back and forth in your palms until you can feel it is creamy and approximately room temperature.\nRecipe Card\n▢\n2\npounds\nboneless, skinless chicken breasts\n▢\nsalt\n▢\npepper\n▢\ngarlic powder\n▢\n3\ntablespoons\nolive oil\n▢\n2\ntablespoons\nbutter\n▢\n1\ncup\nchicken broth\n▢\n4\noz\ncream cheese, room temperature, cubed\n▢\n2\nteaspoons\nmustard (dijon, creole, or spicy brown)\n▢\nTrim excess fat and then slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to equal pieces that are roughly 3\/4 to 1-inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.\n▢\nIn a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken (working in batches if necessary) in the skillet until it is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning and add additional oil if needed. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.\n▢\nAdd the butter and melt. Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the cooked-on bits.\n▢\nBring the broth to a simmer and add cream cheese. Whisk together to combine once melted.\n▢\nAdd mustard and continue to simmer until sauce starts to thicken, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste.\n▢\nOnce the sauce is thick, return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Add additional broth if the sauce gets too thick.

I served this to my husband and 94 year old father, and they both loved it! We drove my Dad home, and the smell from the kitchen when we got back… I’m ready to eat it all over again! The only change I made was to add some chopped sun dried tomatoes to the sauce. I see why people make double the sauce, just a tip, if you are serving this over rice be prepared for the rice to take up all your sauce! We also had it with garlicky, buttered green beans. I’m making your Bacon Wrapped pork loin with pepper jelly next weekend for them, but I’m going to be using pork tenderloin as I’ve got a couple to use up.\n   \n   [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-258483)\n   - ![Stacey Little](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='48'%20height='48'%20viewBox='0%200%2048%2048'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)[Stacey Little](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/about\/)\n     \n     [January 5, 2026 at 10:00 am](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-258509)\n     \n     So glad y’all enjoyed it, Lois! The sun-dried tomatoes in the sauce sounds like a delicious twist. And you’re exactly right about serving it over rice. Rice soaks up sauce fast, so doubling the sauce is a great idea if you want it extra saucy.  \n      Hope y’all love the Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin with Pepper Jelly next weekend. Pork tenderloin will work just fine, just remember it cooks a good bit faster than a pork loin, so start checking it a bit earlier.\n     \n     [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-258509)\n4.

The chicken was moist and had the most amazing flavor. The pan sauce was excellent and we enjoyed the extra flavor it gave to the rice side dish. I can’t wait to make this again! Thank you for delivering on a recipe that made eating at home a pleasure instead of just something to fill my tummy! This was my first recipe from your site so I am looking forward to exploring and finding other wonderful and easy dishes.\n    \n    [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-238904)\n    - ![Stacey Little](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='48'%20height='48'%20viewBox='0%200%2048%2048'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)[Stacey](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/about\/)\n      \n      [September 26, 2023 at 8:29 am](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-238960)\n      \n      Thank you so much, Becky!

A couple of suggestions I’d like to offer. 1. try using chicken tenders if you don’t want to slice larger pieces of chicken. The frozen pieces are often loaded with salt, and I’m careful of my salt intake.  \n     2. break up the cream cheese into smaller pieces and whisk into the broth.  \n     Thanks, Stacey, for another tried and true recipe.\n    \n    [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-230288)\n    - ![Stacey Little](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='48'%20height='48'%20viewBox='0%200%2048%2048'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)[Stacey](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/about\/)\n      \n      [August 19, 2022 at 8:22 am](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-230337)\n      \n      Thanks so much for these tips Sandy\\!\n      \n      [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-230337)\n38.

Seasoned with Tony’s Creole seasoning instead of the salt\/pepper\/garlic powder. Sauteed in half as much oil, using a well seasoned iron skillet. They cooked quickly, and left plenty of fond in the bottom of my skillet. I also sauteed some minced bottled garlic in the butter for a minute before adding the broth (we love garlic!), then proceeded with the recipe. It was delicious! Next time I will add some mushrooms! Served it with brown rice cooked in chicken broth with dried vegetable flakes (red and green bell peppers, onions, carrots, parsley) added.\n    \n    [Reply](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-230273)\n    - Lizabeth\n      \n      [August 16, 2022 at 2:35 pm](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce\/#comment-230274)\n      \n      P.S.

It was on the regular rotation at our house way back then and continues to be today. We probably make it a couple times a month.\n\nThis super delicious cream cheese sauce is a great way to dress up boring boneless skinless chicken breasts. And it’s super easy, too! The seasoning from the chicken, combined with the fond (that’s the brown stuff on the bottom of the pan after cooking the chicken), chicken broth, cream cheese, and just a hint of mustard creates a decadent sauce that you’ll probably want to pour over everything on your plate – like these [mashed potatoes](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/moms-secret-ingredient-mashed-potatoes\/). At least that’s what happens at our house! Ha\\!\n\n![Cream Cheese Pan sauce being spooned over seared chicken breasts](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-4.jpg)\n\n## What is pan sauce?\nSimply put, pan sauce is a sauce made in the same pan that you cooked your meat in. Traditionally, it is made by deglazing the pan with a liquid, such as stock or water. The liquid will loosen the cooked-on bits that have stuck to the pan. Those bits will add flavor to the sauce. You can then add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or cream.\n\nPan sauces are a great way to add flavor and richness to your meal. They’re also relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. And an added bonus… less cleanup because the meat and sauce are all made in one pan\\!\n\n![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-2.jpg)\n\n## Tips on pan-cooking chicken:\nThe most challenging thing about this Chicken with Pan Sauce is getting the chicken cooked correctly – but even that’s not too hard. You want to get the chicken cooked through, without burning the outside. Here are a few tips for cooking that perfect chicken:\n\n- **Thickness matters\\!** The super thick chicken breasts from the grocery store won’t work the way they come. I suggest taking a sharp knife and slicing each breast in half lengthwise to create two pieces of chicken that are roughly 3\/4 to 1-inch thick. If you still find them too thick, put them between two pieces of cling wrap or in a gallon zip-top bag and pound them thinner with a meat mallet. This will allow them to cook through quicker.\n- **Use a meat thermometer\\!** I always recommend an instant-read meat thermometer. Not only does this ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature, but it allows you to cook it right to 165° without going over and causing it to get dry. No one wants dry chicken. And, that’s the chief complaint I get from folks about using boneless skinless chicken breasts, so use that thermometer\\!\n- **You can use chicken thighs and frozen chicken breasts\\!** This will also work with boneless chicken thighs. I’ve also been known to use some of those frozen chicken breasts that you buy in the big bag. Most of the time, those are thin enough to not need to be sliced. Just make sure they’re completely thawed before using them.\n\n![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](https:\/\/southernbite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-3.jpg)\n\n## How do I quickly bring cream cheese to room temperature?\nThere are several ways you can bring cream cheese to room temperature quickly. Here are three different methods I recommend:\n\n- **Submerge** in a large mixing bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes.\n- **Microwave** the cream cheese in 15-second intervals. Don’t over nuke it though! No one wants scorched cream cheese.\n- **Place in your hands** while still in the packaging for about 15 minutes. Press the packaging back and forth in your palms until you can feel it is creamy and approximately room temperature.\n\nRecipe Card\n\n- ▢\n  2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts\n- ▢\n  salt\n- ▢\n  pepper\n- ▢\n  garlic powder\n- ▢\n  3 tablespoons olive oil\n- ▢\n  2 tablespoons butter\n- ▢\n  1 cup chicken broth\n- ▢\n  4 oz cream cheese, room temperature, cubed\n- ▢\n  2 teaspoons mustard (dijon, creole, or spicy brown)\n\n- ▢\n  Trim excess fat and then slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to equal pieces that are roughly 3\/4 to 1-inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.\n- ▢\n  In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken (working in batches if necessary) in the skillet until it is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning and add additional oil if needed. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.\n- ▢\n  Add the butter and melt. Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the cooked-on bits.\n- ▢\n  Bring the broth to a simmer and add cream cheese.

It was on the regular rotation at our house way back then and continues to be today. We probably make it a couple times a month. This super delicious cream cheese sauce is a great way to dress up boring boneless skinless chicken breasts. And it’s super easy, too! The seasoning from the chicken, combined with the fond (that’s the brown stuff on the bottom of the pan after cooking the chicken), chicken broth, cream cheese, and just a hint of mustard creates a decadent sauce that you’ll probably want to pour over everything on your plate – like these [mashed potatoes](https://southernbite.com/moms-secret-ingredient-mashed-potatoes/). At least that’s what happens at our house! Ha\! ![Cream Cheese Pan sauce being spooned over seared chicken breasts](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='670'%20height='1005'%20viewBox='0%200%20670%201005'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ## What is pan sauce? Simply put, pan sauce is a sauce made in the same pan that you cooked your meat in. Traditionally, it is made by deglazing the pan with a liquid, such as stock or water. The liquid will loosen the cooked-on bits that have stuck to the pan. Those bits will add flavor to the sauce. You can then add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or cream. Pan sauces are a great way to add flavor and richness to your meal. They’re also relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. And an added bonus… less cleanup because the meat and sauce are all made in one pan\! ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='670'%20height='1005'%20viewBox='0%200%20670%201005'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ## Tips on pan-cooking chicken: The most challenging thing about this Chicken with Pan Sauce is getting the chicken cooked correctly – but even that’s not too hard. You want to get the chicken cooked through, without burning the outside. Here are a few tips for cooking that perfect chicken: - Thickness matters\! The super thick chicken breasts from the grocery store won’t work the way they come. I suggest taking a sharp knife and slicing each breast in half lengthwise to create two pieces of chicken that are roughly 3/4 to 1-inch thick. If you still find them too thick, put them between two pieces of cling wrap or in a gallon zip-top bag and pound them thinner with a meat mallet. This will allow them to cook through quicker. - Use a meat thermometer\! I always recommend an instant-read meat thermometer. Not only does this ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature, but it allows you to cook it right to 165° without going over and causing it to get dry. No one wants dry chicken. And, that’s the chief complaint I get from folks about using boneless skinless chicken breasts, so use that thermometer\! - You can use chicken thighs and frozen chicken breasts\! This will also work with boneless chicken thighs. I’ve also been known to use some of those frozen chicken breasts that you buy in the big bag. Most of the time, those are thin enough to not need to be sliced. Just make sure they’re completely thawed before using them. ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='670'%20height='447'%20viewBox='0%200%20670%20447'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ## How do I quickly bring cream cheese to room temperature? There are several ways you can bring cream cheese to room temperature quickly. Here are three different methods I recommend: - Submerge in a large mixing bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. - Microwave the cream cheese in 15-second intervals. Don’t over nuke it though! No one wants scorched cream cheese. - Place in your hands while still in the packaging for about 15 minutes. Press the packaging back and forth in your palms until you can feel it is creamy and approximately room temperature. ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='150'%20height='150'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C/svg%3E) [Print](https://southernbite.com/wprm_print/easy-chicken-with-cream-cheese-pan-sauce) [Pin](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsouthernbite.com%2Feasy-chicken-with-pan-sauce%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fsouthernbite.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F03%2FCHICKEN-CREAM-CHEESE-PAN-SAUCE-PINTEREST25-scaled.jpg&description=Easy+Chicken+with+Cream+Cheese+Pan+Sauce&is_video=false) [Save](https://southernbite.com/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce/)[Saved\!](https://southernbite.com/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce/) 4\.99 from 55 votes Recipe Card ## Easy Chicken with Cream Cheese Pan Sauce Author [Stacey Little](https://southernbite.com/about/) Course Main Course Cuisine American Prep Time 15 minutes minutes Cook Time 20 minutes minutes Total Time 35 minutes minutes Servings 4 Calories 506kcal ### Ingredients - ▢ 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts - ▢ salt - ▢ pepper - ▢ garlic powder - ▢ 3 tablespoons olive oil - ▢ 2 tablespoons butter - ▢ 1 cup chicken broth - ▢ 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature, cubed - ▢ 2 teaspoons mustard (dijon, creole, or spicy brown) ### Instructions - ▢ Trim excess fat and then slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to equal pieces that are roughly 3/4 to 1-inch in thickness.

I served this to my husband and 94 year old father, and they both loved it! We drove my Dad home, and the smell from the kitchen when we got back… I’m ready to eat it all over again! The only change I made was to add some chopped sun dried tomatoes to the sauce. I see why people make double the sauce, just a tip, if you are serving this over rice be prepared for the rice to take up all your sauce! We also had it with garlicky, buttered green beans. I’m making your Bacon Wrapped pork loin with pepper jelly next weekend for them, but I’m going to be using pork tenderloin as I’ve got a couple to use up.

The sun-dried tomatoes in the sauce sounds like a delicious twist. And you’re exactly right about serving it over rice. Rice soaks up sauce fast, so doubling the sauce is a great idea if you want it extra saucy. Hope y’all love the Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin with Pepper Jelly next weekend. Pork tenderloin will work just fine, just remember it cooks a good bit faster than a pork loin, so start checking it a bit earlier.

I am not a good cook so finding recipes that don’t overwhelm me with the number of steps to complete a dish, have ingredients that won’t break the bank and I’ll never use again (or use very little of) and with the first bite you know it is a keeper is just what this challenged cook needs. The chicken was moist and had the most amazing flavor. The pan sauce was excellent and we enjoyed the extra flavor it gave to the rice side dish. I can’t wait to make this again!

Sandy [August 17, 2022 at 12:02 pm](https://southernbite.com/easy-chicken-with-pan-sauce/#comment-230288) Hey, Stacey! This looks so good that I had to check it out. Sounds as good as it looks. I can usually tell by the ingredients and time to make the recipe that I’ll like it or not. Saying that, this recipe has me intrigued. It’s a keeper for sure. A couple of suggestions I’d like to offer. 1. try using chicken tenders if you don’t want to slice larger pieces of chicken. The frozen pieces are often loaded with salt, and I’m careful of my salt intake. 2. break up the cream cheese into smaller pieces and whisk into the broth. Thanks, Stacey, for another tried and true recipe.

Seasoned with Tony’s Creole seasoning instead of the salt/pepper/garlic powder. Sauteed in half as much oil, using a well seasoned iron skillet. They cooked quickly, and left plenty of fond in the bottom of my skillet. I also sauteed some minced bottled garlic in the butter for a minute before adding the broth (we love garlic!), then proceeded with the recipe. It was delicious! Next time I will add some mushrooms! Served it with brown rice cooked in chicken broth with dried vegetable flakes (red and green bell peppers, onions, carrots, parsley) added.

I have a friend who has a birthday comming up This Sunday(Jan. 22, ) I am wanting to make her a meal that I can give to her in the morning (like Fri. Morning) that will be good when she gets home. She will need to reheat. I also want to make her a coconut cake. That is her favorite. She really only eats chicken meals. Any suggestions. I am also going to try the Papa Lemon ice box pie. Looks great.

If you’re using the thinner frozen boneless skinless breasts they’ll be about done by the time you finish the sauce or a little sooner – probably about 15 minutes.

Readable Markdown	This Easy Chicken with Cream Cheese Pan Sauce recipe is super quick, crazy easy, and surprisingly delicious! It’s perfect for those busy weeknights but elegant enough for company! It’s the perfect way to use up those boneless skinless chicken breasts. ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](https://southernbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce.jpg) [Pin this recipe\!](https://pin.it/6bkaMWxrU) Way back in 2011, I posted this recipe for my Easy Chicken with Cream Cheese Pan Sauce. It was on the regular rotation at our house way back then and continues to be today. We probably make it a couple times a month. This super delicious cream cheese sauce is a great way to dress up boring boneless skinless chicken breasts. And it’s super easy, too! The seasoning from the chicken, combined with the fond (that’s the brown stuff on the bottom of the pan after cooking the chicken), chicken broth, cream cheese, and just a hint of mustard creates a decadent sauce that you’ll probably want to pour over everything on your plate – like these [mashed potatoes](https://southernbite.com/moms-secret-ingredient-mashed-potatoes/). At least that’s what happens at our house! Ha\! ![Cream Cheese Pan sauce being spooned over seared chicken breasts](https://southernbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-4.jpg) ## What is pan sauce? Simply put, pan sauce is a sauce made in the same pan that you cooked your meat in. Traditionally, it is made by deglazing the pan with a liquid, such as stock or water. The liquid will loosen the cooked-on bits that have stuck to the pan. Those bits will add flavor to the sauce. You can then add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or cream. Pan sauces are a great way to add flavor and richness to your meal. They’re also relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. And an added bonus… less cleanup because the meat and sauce are all made in one pan\! ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](https://southernbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-2.jpg) ## Tips on pan-cooking chicken: The most challenging thing about this Chicken with Pan Sauce is getting the chicken cooked correctly – but even that’s not too hard. You want to get the chicken cooked through, without burning the outside. Here are a few tips for cooking that perfect chicken: - Thickness matters\! The super thick chicken breasts from the grocery store won’t work the way they come. I suggest taking a sharp knife and slicing each breast in half lengthwise to create two pieces of chicken that are roughly 3/4 to 1-inch thick. If you still find them too thick, put them between two pieces of cling wrap or in a gallon zip-top bag and pound them thinner with a meat mallet. This will allow them to cook through quicker. - Use a meat thermometer\! I always recommend an instant-read meat thermometer. Not only does this ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature, but it allows you to cook it right to 165° without going over and causing it to get dry. No one wants dry chicken. And, that’s the chief complaint I get from folks about using boneless skinless chicken breasts, so use that thermometer\! - You can use chicken thighs and frozen chicken breasts\! This will also work with boneless chicken thighs. I’ve also been known to use some of those frozen chicken breasts that you buy in the big bag. Most of the time, those are thin enough to not need to be sliced. Just make sure they’re completely thawed before using them. ![Seared chicken breasts in cream cheese pan sauce](https://southernbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Chicken-with-Pan-Sauce-3.jpg) ## How do I quickly bring cream cheese to room temperature? There are several ways you can bring cream cheese to room temperature quickly. Here are three different methods I recommend: - Submerge in a large mixing bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. - Microwave the cream cheese in 15-second intervals. Don’t over nuke it though! No one wants scorched cream cheese. - Place in your hands while still in the packaging for about 15 minutes. Press the packaging back and forth in your palms until you can feel it is creamy and approximately room temperature. Recipe Card - ▢ 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts - ▢ salt - ▢ pepper - ▢ garlic powder - ▢ 3 tablespoons olive oil - ▢ 2 tablespoons butter - ▢ 1 cup chicken broth - ▢ 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature, cubed - ▢ 2 teaspoons mustard (dijon, creole, or spicy brown) - ▢ Trim excess fat and then slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to equal pieces that are roughly 3/4 to 1-inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside. - ▢ In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken (working in batches if necessary) in the skillet until it is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning and add additional oil if needed. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. - ▢ Add the butter and melt. Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the cooked-on bits. - ▢ Bring the broth to a simmer and add cream cheese. Whisk together to combine once melted. - ▢ Add mustard and continue to simmer until sauce starts to thicken, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste. - ▢ Once the sauce is thick, return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Add additional broth if the sauce gets too thick. Serve immediately.
