How to Make Crusted Chicken With Cream Sauce Lite Bleu

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup crushed crackers, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rinse 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) under cold water and pat dry.
  4. Dip each chicken breast in the crumb mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 ounces light cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon light bleu cheese dressing.
  9. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  10. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  11. Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the creamy bleu cheese sauce over the chicken breasts.
  12. Garnish with 1 tablespoon fresh chives, and serve immediately.
