Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs Oil
  • 4 Chicken Breasts around 800g
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp Rosemary
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 70 g Butter
  • 180 ml White Wine
  • 100 g Cream Cheese
  • Parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oil in a pan to a medium to high heat.
  • Allow the oil to heat up before adding in your chicken breast.
  • Cook on each side for around 3 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic.
  • Add the Rosemary, thyme and smoked paprika to the pan.
  • Then add salt and pepper to taste. You can add more later when you taste the sauce if needed.
  • Continue to cook the chicken for around 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Put the butter in the pan and allow it to melt.
  • Pour in the white wine or stock and stir until combined.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan and put it aside until ready to serve.
  • Finally add in the cream cheese and stir until it has fully mixed in to the sauce. They may take a few minutes.
  • Allow to simmer for a few minutes stirring occasionally. I like to do this to allow the sauce to fully cook through, to burn off alcohol while slightly thickening the sauce.
  • Dish up the chicken and pour over your desired amount of sauce along with your choice of sides.
  • I like to add fresh parsley on top of mine to garnish but this is completely optional.
