Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and keep warm.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, heat butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisk in cream and broth; cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan and cream cheese; cook, stirring occasionally, until both have melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Spoon sauce over chicken breasts and serve remaining sauce on the side.
