Instructions

Place the chicken pieces in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
2. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet along with the cream cheese and chicken bone broth. Keep stirring until the cream cheese has fully melted and everything comes together into a smooth sauce.
