You have no idea how difficult it usually is for everyone to like a new dish!! And that is usually my husband who is the complainer!! But not tonight! Made it with homemade potato “chips” (just thinly sliced potatoes sautéed in a little grape seed oil and a little butter). Put them in with the sauce and let them soak up some of the sauce. SOOO GOOD!!! Green beans on the side with crescent rolls.

However, you could also substitute a plain or flavored goat cheese. (You'll need about 4 oz.) Or you could use a combination of plain cream cheese, Swiss or mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. This is great served over a baked potato, mashed potatoes, polenta or grits, or steamed rice or couscous. Anything that you can drizzle some of the extra sauce over\! ### Nutrition Serving: 1serving \\| Calories: 442kcal \\| Carbohydrates: 2g \\| Protein: 30g \\| Fat: 35g \\| Saturated Fat: 20g \\| Polyunsaturated Fat: 11g \\| Trans Fat: 1g \\| Cholesterol: 100mg \\| Sodium: 360mg Tried this recipe?Leave a comment below or follow me on Instagram [@familyfoodonthetable](https://www.instagram.com/familyfoodonthetable) and tag me in your photo\! ## More Main Dishes - [![Close up of sliced cream cheese stuffed chicken breast on a plate alongside a salad.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20360%20360'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Close up of sliced cream cheese stuffed chicken breast on a plate alongside a salad.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Cream-cheese-stuffed-chicken-square-1200-360x360.jpg)Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/cream-cheese-stuffed-chicken/) - [![A collage of four different creamy chicken recipes in a square grid.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20360%20360'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![A collage of four different creamy chicken recipes in a square grid.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Creamy-chicken-recipes-pillar-square-360x360.jpg)Healthy Creamy Chicken Recipes](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/healthy-creamy-chicken-recipes/) - [![Close up of a wooden spoon resting in a dark skillet full of a creamy chicken, orzo and spinach mixture with feta cheese on top.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20360%20360'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Close up of a wooden spoon resting in a dark skillet full of a creamy chicken, orzo and spinach mixture with feta cheese on top.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Skillet-chicken-orzo-square1200-360x360.jpg)Skillet Chicken and Orzo with Spinach and Feta](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/skillet-chicken-and-orzo-with-spinach-and-feta/) - [![Close up of a chicken breast roasted chicken Parm on a foil lined baking sheet.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20360%20360'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Close up of a chicken breast roasted chicken Parm on a foil lined baking sheet.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Sheet-pan-chicken-Parm-square1200-360x360.jpg)Sheet Pan Chicken Parm](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/sheet-pan-chicken-parm/) - Pin ### Comments 1.

Susan says April 25, 2019 at 11:57 pm Just found your site two nights ago and made your creamy chicken recipe tonight! Family loved it! You have no idea how difficult it usually is for everyone to like a new dish!! And that is usually my husband who is the complainer!! But not tonight! Made it with homemade potato “chips” (just thinly sliced potatoes sautéed in a little grape seed oil and a little butter). Put them in with the sauce and let them soak up some of the sauce. SOOO GOOD!!! Green beans on the side with crescent rolls. Thank you and can’t wait to try more recipes\!

Readable Markdown	This creamy skillet chicken has a velvety smooth sauce from just 2 ingredients! It's perfect for a really simple, delicious weeknight dinner\! ![Chunks of chicken breasts cooked in a pan with a creamy sauce and topped with fresh parsley](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Easy-creamy-chicken.png) Welcome to one of my favorite dinners. ❤️ I've been making this easy creamy chicken for years. It started one of those nights when I looked into the fridge and wondered why I hadn't gone to the store that day. Slim pickings. Then I spied some wedge cheeses and some chicken I needed to cook and this delightful dinner was born. And ever since, it never fails to amaze me. It's the sauce. The sauce has a serious yummy quotient. It's decadent but also, believe it, so very light. And it takes just two ingredients. ![Cooked pieces of chicken breast in a large skillet with a creamy sauce and fresh parsley on top](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Easy-creamy-chicken-pan-680x454.png) I use Laughing Cow wedge cheese and some chicken broth to make a velvety smooth sauce that coats the chicken and brings big flavor without many calories. This also cooks up in no time, making it an easy, delicious dinner to turn to any night of the week. It's my foolproof back-up when things get crazy. (Which is why I always have these ingredients on hand!) You might also love this [Quick Chicken & Gravy](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/quick-chicken-and-gravy/) recipe, which is ready in just 25 minutes and is perfect served with mashed potatoes. Or this [Easy Cream Cheese Chicken](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/easy-cream-cheese-chicken/) that is wildly popular and another family-friendly weeknight dinner. Oh, and this recipe is low-carb and gluten-free and keto as is. ![Seared chunks of chicken in a skillet with dollops of cream cheese added before being melted.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Creamy-chicken-with-cheese-680x454.png) ![Chicken pieces in a dark skillet with a creamy sauce.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Creamy-chicken-sizzling-680x454.png) ![A skillet with creamy chicken strips in a sauce alongside a bunch of fresh parsley.](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Easy-creamy-chicken-strips-680x454.png) ## Ingredient Notes + Subs: - Chicken: I prefer boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and I cut them into large strips or chunks so they will cook more evenly and quickly. You could also substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs. - Cheese: I use Laughing Cow cheese wedges in this recipe. It's easy, flavorful and keeps it really simple. However, you could also use a plain or flavored goat cheese for this recipe. You'll need about 4 ounces. - You could also use a combination of plain cream cheese, Swiss or mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese for this recipe. Just be sure it all melts down into a smooth sauce. Also, be sure to serve the chicken with any extra sauce drizzled on it. Plenty of extra sauce\! ![Easy creamy chicken](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Easy-creamy-chicken-dinners-667x1000.png) Lastly, here's some ideas of what to pair it with. ## Serving Ideas: - Fluffy baked potatoes (try these [easy 10-minute "baked" potatoes](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/10-minute-baked-potatoes/) to make the meal ready fast.) - [Healthy mashed potatoes](https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/healthy-mashed-potatoes/) - Creamy grits or polenta - Steamed brown or white rice - Couscous or quinoa You pretty much just want anything that you can drizzle some extra sauce over! Oh that sauce... Then add your favorite veggie to round out the meal: steamed broccoli or asparagus, green beans or sautéed spinach. The whole dinner can be ready in 15 minutes with minimal effort and very few, very basic ingredients. That's what I'm talking about. Enjoy\! XO Kathryn P.S.
