I do not know what it is about dishes with a cream sauce, but I am always drawn to them. I just love the creaminess of them. So of course I had to make this dish and was so glad I did.
Chicken in Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 medium red pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth, divided
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 ounces linguine, cooked and drained
Directions:
- In a skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add in chicken, red peppers, green onions and Italian seasoning.
- Cook until chicken is completely cooked, stirring occasionally.
- Add in 2 tablespoons chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan add in cream cheese, milk and remaining 2 tablespoons chicken broth. Heat on low, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Place warm linguine on a plate and top with chicken mixture and cream cheese sauce.
Enjoy!!!
