- Add to pan and sear for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

- Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
- Add chicken broth and cream cheese and stir until melted.

- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and turn to coat in the cheese sauce.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 7-9 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. (It will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are.)
- Serve chicken breasts with extra sauce spooned over the top.
- Enjoy!
