How to Make Easy Cream Cheese Chicken
Ok, you know those nights when you don’t have a plan for dinner? This is what you make! It’s ready in 30 minutes, uses pantry staples, and everyone in your family will like this creamy chicken recipe.
Prep Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, to about 1 inch thick. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Base of the Sauce: In the same skillet, add unsalted butter, then melt. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then add chicken broth to the pan, stir, and scrape the bottom to loosen any bits.
Cream Cheese Sauce: Bring the broth to a simmer, then whisk in the cream cheese until melted. Then, whisk in Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Coat and Serve: Return the chicken to the pan and coat it with the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, then serve cream cheese chicken over potatoes or rice!
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Flavor Boost: Experiment with using flavored cream cheese, like garlic and herb or chive and onion! Boursin cheese would also be a delicious alternative!
Cut 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, in half lengthwise to about 1 inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken 7-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
To the skillet, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and melt. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.
Bring the broth to a simmer and add 1 (8-ounce) package room temperature cream cheese. Whisk to melt the cream cheese.
Whisk in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat it with the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, then serve over potatoes or rice!
Notes

These Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies come with a famous backstory, but the real star is the cookie itself. Thick, chewy, and packed with oats, two kinds of chocolate, and crunchy walnuts, they’re truly worth the hype.
Why These are Legend Status Cookies
A little legend baked right in. One bite and you’ll see why these cookies are so loved. Hoax or not, they really hit the spot.
A bigger, heartier take on a classic. These are like a thicker, bakery style version of my classic chocolate chip cookies, with oats and extra mix-ins.
Thick, chewy every time. Golden edges, soft centers, and lots of texture from oats and walnuts in each bite.
Ingredients for Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oats: Pulse the oats slightly. We want to break them down a bit, not blend them into a flour.
Chocolate Bar: Finely chop your chocolate bar; it’s easier than grating it, like you do in the original recipe, and you get bigger pools of melty chocolate.
Walnuts: Substitute the walnuts for pecans or leave the nuts out entirely.
How to Make Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is simple enough to make any day of the week. There is no chilling time. You just mix, bake, and enjoy cookies that turn out soft, chewy, and delicious every time. If you love easy cookie recipes, try my soft sugar cookies or chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Pulse Oats: In a blender or food processor, pulse oats until they are partially blended.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the ground oatmeal, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, then stir to combine.
Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then stir to combine.
Add Mix-Ins: Stir in chocolate chips, chopped hershey bar, and chopped walnuts.
Bake: Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop 1 ½ tablespoon sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between each cookie, then bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn a light golden brown. The centers will look under baked. But the Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
Optional Espresso Powder
Add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder as they do in the official Neiman Marcus cookie recipe on their website! It will enhance the chocolate flavor and add depth to the cookie.
These Copycat Neiman Marcus Cookies have crisp edges, soft centers, and a rich, buttery dough packed with chocolate chips and signature texture.
