What You Need

small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)

Tbsp. flour

Tbsp. oil

3/4

cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Make It

COAT chicken with flour. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (165°F). Remove chicken from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Cover chicken to keep warm.

ADD broth to skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is melted and sauce starts to thicken, stirring constantly with whisk.

RETURN chicken to skillet; turn to coat both sides of each breast with sauce. Cook 2 min. or until chicken is heated through. Sprinkle with parsley.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

If possible, use a large skillet with sloping sides when preparing this recipe. Not only does this allow you to easily turn the chicken pieces but the larger surface area speeds up the evaporation of the cooking liquids which, in turn, allows the chicken to brown more quickly.

Special Extra

Stir 2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese or 2 tsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard into cream cheese sauce before the final 2-min. simmer time.

Variations

Prepare recipe as directed. Transfer chicken to serving platter, then top with one of the following options: Spinach-Bacon: Top chicken with 1 cup baby spinach leaves. Drizzle with sauce; sprinkle with 2 slices cooked and crumbled OSCAR MAYER Bacon. Tomato-Basil: Top chicken with 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with sauce; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil.

So good. Loved the sauce. Didn't add anything special to the sauce, except a sprinkling of garlic salt with parsley bits mixed in, and a sprinkling of pepper. The sauce is great with or without a pinch of rosemary. My fiance couldn't quit taking small tastes of the sauce

My family LOVED this recipe! I did additions as was suggested in a previous post. I added 3 cloves of garlic, 1 small onion, 1 1/2 Tbs of dijon mustard & 3 basil leaves with the chicken broth.

My family loved this dish. Sometimes my 11 year old is reluctant to try new things, and can be very fussy. He asked for seconds.

Very simple and good. Have to agree with previous reviews to use extra seasonings and make more sauce.

this was very good...like others i would make more sauce to cover noodles or what ever your side dish might be.....however it does need additional seasoning....I used cream cheese w/chives.....i would make this again!

Very good and soooo easy - my husband loved it and even said to save the recipe (he usually does the cooking). I added the tomatoes but didn't have fresh basil or spinach available. I was worried about the lack of spices as well but it really didn't need it. We always cook with extra virgin olive oil instead of regular vegetable/canola oil.

I made this last night and my DH thought it was great. I doubled the sauce and added crumbled bacon and parmesan cheese on top. It was quick and easy, will definitly make again.
