Chicken with Cream Cheese Sauce

3 chicken breasts, cut into strips or chunks
Salt and Pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup white wine
114 oz can of chicken broth
4 oz light cream cheese
2 tablespoons flour

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, add the chicken to the pan. Brown chicken on both sides. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic to the pan and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up all of the brown bits on the bottom. Add 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and chicken broth has reduced. Remove chicken and set aside, keep warm. Mix flour with remaining broth and add to pan; mix. Add cream cheese, mix until thick and bubbly. Return chicken to the pan and coat with sauce.
