Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute chicken breasts with onion and garlic powder until browned and no longer pink in the centers, turning as needed, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cream cheese, 1/2 cup milk, basil, lemon juice, rosemary, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally so sauce doesn't burn, for 15 minutes. Add peas and simmer for 15 minutes more. Add extra milk to thin sauce if it gets too thick.
