Yields2 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time25 mins

Chicken breast fillets are so quick and easy to cook with. They come ready sliced so your just taking them out of the container, seasoning and adding straight into the pan.. They cook in no time so by adding a few ingredients you have a speedy dinner in 20-30mns appr. How good is that?
The sauce is the star of the show here and so delicious I actually wanted to lick my plate lol.
This serves 2 and would be a great date night meal, but you can easily increase the quantities to serve 4 to enjoy with the family.
Im sure this delicious dinner will become a family favourite in no time.
It's also so easy to adapt to you and your families tastes. You can use Chicken breasts or thighs, swap the cream cheese for cream for a touch of richness and add more vegetables if you prefer. .
