Cream Cheese Chicken- One Dish Meal!

This meal takes about 30 minutes to cook, is gluten free, low carb, and my favorite part- made in one dish! It makes me sad to hear people are cooking one bariatric meal for themselves and something completely different for the rest of their family. TOO MUCH WORK. This recipe works for everyone.

Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients: 

2 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

8 oz white mushrooms sliced (I used cremini mushrooms, use whatever you have and like)

2 cloves garlic minced

1 and 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, breast tenders

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4 oz reduce fat cream cheese

1/4 cup broth (chicken, vegetable, whatever you have on hand)

1/4-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or Parmesan cheese

1 cup steamed broccoli or 1 cup steamed peas ( I used peas, but any green veggie makes this dish pop. You could even stir in fresh spinach leaves at the end of cooking for another green option). 

Optional- parsley to sprinkle on top and ooked rice for serving to non-bariatric eaters.


Directions: 

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil.

2. Add onions and mushrooms, sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. 

3. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides

4. Increase the heat to medium high, add chicken to pan. Sear for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until chicken strips are golden brown. 

5. Add the cream cheese and chicken broth, stir until melted. Stir in your choice of green vegetable and sprinkle with mozzarella or Parmesan cheese and parsley.
