Ingredients

1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1/4 Cup Cream Cheese

1/3 Cup Chicken Broth

2 Tablespoons Pesto

2 Small Chicken Breasts ( approx. 3 ounces each )

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet on low - medium heat. Add the chicken to cook on the first side until lightly brown, then flip the chicken.

Once you have flipped the chicken to cook on the other side add the cream cheese to a second skillet on low heat until it's soft, stirring constantly.

When the cream cheese has melted or is relatively soft mix in both the broth and pesto. Cook and constantly stir until sauce is thickened and well blended.

When both pieces of chicken are completely cooked and browned on each side, place the chicken on plates then pour the sauce right on top!

Serves two people!
