Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (or 4 boneless, skinless breasts)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2-2/3 cup water (for sauteing chicken)
6 ounces cream cheese, cubed (if you like a thicker, richer sauce use 8 ounces cream cheese)
3/4 cup milk (adjust depending on how thin or thick a sauce you like)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (red, white or black pepper)
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes (to garnish) or 2 dashes chives (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with seasoning salt and garlic powder, and set aside.
  • In a microwaveable bowl, mix cream cheese, milk, garlic powder and pepper.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking and stirring until cream cheese is melted.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
  • Add chicken to pan and saute at medium heat adding small amounts of water to pan, as needed, so that chicken doesn't get too dry or stick to pan. The chicken will release juices that blend with the water.
  • When chicken is cooked through, but there is still some of this "juicy water" in the pan, add the sauce to the pan and cook until heated through.
  • Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and arrange on a bed of white rice.
  • Spoon or pour sauce over the chicken and then sprinkle with parsley or chives.
  • NOTE: I usually serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli drizzled in heated olive oil (I season the heated olive oil with lime juice and garlic powder). YUMMY!

CHICKEN ALFREDO (W/CREAM CHEESE SAUCE)



Chicken Alfredo (W/Cream Cheese Sauce) image

This is a recipe I found a while back and have made a few embellishments on. Caution!!! Very rich!!! I use garden gourmet basil paste in all my recipes requiring basil. This stuff is amazing. If you can't find it sub fresh or dried basil. Just don't overdo it on the dried basil. I am not sure on the cook times yet and will edit that once I find out. The sauce can take some time to turn creamy

Tips:

  • If you want a more flavorful sauce, use a flavored cream cheese, such as chive and onion or garlic and herb. You can also add other seasonings to the sauce, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking. You can also season the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • If you don't have a skillet that is oven-safe, you can transfer the chicken and sauce to a baking dish before baking.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or vegetables.
