Frugal Recipe: Chicken in Creamy Pan Sauce

I diverted from yesterday's meal plan to test out a new recipe! And it was delish! :) And easy! And frugal! (All of my favorite things in a meal!) So here it is:

Frugal Recipe Test Drive: Chicken in Creamy Pan Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1lb of Chicken Breasts or Tenders (I used tenders)
• 2-4 Tbsp. of flour
• 1 Tbsp. oil
• 3/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat chicken with flour (I used more than 2 Tablespoons). Add chicken; cook 4 to 6 min. on each side or until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Cover chicken to keep warm.

Pour chicken broth into the 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 wire whisk.

Return chicken to skillet; turn over to coat both sides of chicken with sauce. Cook 2 min. or until chicken is heated through. Sprinkle with parsley (I had some in my garden so this was free!) or other fresh herbs.

Verdict: This chicken was very tender and delicious. It's pretty basic on its own so feel free to customize it any way you'd like! DH and I gave this recipe an 8 out of 10! :)
