Cream Cheese Chicken Over Rice

0024

Ingredients

• Chicken breasts
• Daily Blend spice mix and other seasonings, to taste
• 1 shallot, diced
• Chicken broth, for deglazing
• Light cream cheese
• Dijon mustard
• Reserved juices from the cooked chicken
• Cooked rice, for serving
• Chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions

1. Season the chicken: Season the chicken evenly with the Daily Blend spice mix and any additional seasonings.
2. Sear: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to rest, reserving its juices.
3. Cook the shallot: Lower the heat. In the same pan, cook the shallot for a few minutes, until softened.
4. Make the sauce: Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits. Stir in the light cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in Dijon mustard and the reserved chicken juices.
5. Serve: Spoon cooked rice onto plates, top with chicken and cream cheese sauce, then finish with chives.

• The dish takes about 20 minutes when the ingredients are prepped and the pan is hot.
• Do not overcrowd the pan while searing; space helps the chicken brown well.
• Use enough broth to release the browned bits while keeping the sauce creamy.
• Light cream cheese makes a rich sauce with fewer calories than full-fat cream cheese.
