1-First, slice the 2 large chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thin pieces, which helps them cook evenly and quickly. Season the pieces with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste, making sure to cover both sides for maximum flavor.

2-Heating and Cooking the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. Add the chicken pieces and cook them for 5-6 minutes per side until they’re golden and fully cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.

3-Building the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the 1/2 medium chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it’s softened and lightly browned, adding a bit more olive oil if the pan looks dry. Then, pour in 3/4 cup chicken broth and the 5.2 oz of herb and garlic flavored soft cheese, stirring everything until the cheese melts and the mixture turns into a smooth sauce. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to develop those rich flavors.

4-Finishing Touches: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of chopped parsley if you want a fresh herb kick. Return the cooked chicken and its juices to the skillet, warming everything through until the sauce thickens just right. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little more chicken broth to get it to your preferred consistency, and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve it immediately for the best taste, and remember, the total prep time is about 10 minutes with 20 minutes of cooking.
