Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Pour in olive oil and let it shimmer to create a non-stick surface.
  2. While the skillet is warming, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet, searing each side for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat, add cream cheese, and stir continuously until fully melted and blended, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in chopped fresh herbs, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
  7. Serve the Cream Cheese Chicken while warm, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece.
