Cream Cheese Chicken

We do a weekly meal with friends of ours, where one week we go to their house, and one week they come to our house. It was our turn last night. So I decided to try the famous nest recipe of Cream Cheese Chicken. It was REALLY good!!!! I didn't get the best pictures as we were really hungry and already chowing but you get the idea.
Cream Cheese Chicken (From Nestie MaryEllen)

Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, trimmed and kept whole or cut into strips or chunks
- 1 can chicken broth, separated
- 4-8 cloves garlic
- red pepper flakes
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1.5 tbs flour
- 2 tsp white wine
Optional: chopped red and green peppers or 1 chopped jalapeno

Directions
- Put chicken in large pan with a little bit of olive oil
- Add red pepper flakes and pressed garlic
- After 1-2 min, add ¾ can chicken broth and white wine; add the chopped peppers at this time if you are using them
- Bring to a boil then simmer 20-25 min until chicken is cooked
- Remove chicken and place in a covered dish; keep warm
- Mix flour with remaining broth and add to pan; mix
- Add cream cheese, mix until thick and bubbly

I tripled this sauce and we had no leftover it was WONDERFUL, so I would definitely double the sauce depending how saucy you like it. I also served this over egg noodles which was wonderful, some people enjoy it over rice but I don't care for rice. Really whatever you prefer. I also cooked the whole chicken breasts next time I would cut them in strips, everyone cut there chicken anyway would of saved some time. I highly suggest trying this recipe!!!

For dessert Rick my girlfriends fiancee loves Apple Crisp, so I made an apple pie, but it is kind of a mix of Apple Pie, and Apple Crisp. We finished off a whole pie last night just the four of us. It is awesome with some ice cream. Again didn't get the best picture got too busy eating!
