Instructions
- Heat one tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the 1.5 pounds chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until each side is golden-brown, about 5 minutes per side. Once done, remove from heat and set aside, covered to keep warm.
- Heat the remaining one tablespoon of oil, add the 8 ounces button mushrooms (sliced), and cook until slightly golden brown. Then add the 3 garlic cloves (minced), and sauté until fragrant.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water until fully dissolved. Pour the 1 1/4 cup chicken broth and cornstarch mixture into the pan.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the liquid starts to bubble. Stir in the 4 ounces Light cream cheese and whisk well until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Return the chicken breast back into the pan, and spoon over with the hot sauce.
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon fresh chopped curly parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Substitutes:
- Storage:
- Place leftovers in a container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat. You can freeze for up to 3 months.
- Oil: we used olive oil, you may use any other oil
- Chicken: using chicken breast would be the leanest option as far as using chicken. You may use boneless chicken thighs, steaks, salmon, or shrimp.
- Cream: light cream cheese works great for this recipe. For a keto-friendly option, heavy cream or coconut milk would work great.
- Broth: Chicken or vegetable broth. If you don't have any broth, you can just use water.
- Mushroom: mushroom is the highlight of this creamy chicken skillet. Other veggie options are broccoli, green beans, spinach, and zucchini.
