Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
Ritz Crackers, finely crushed (if you buy bulk, use one of those pkgs. that are wrapped seperately in the big box)
4-5 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2/3 cup Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread (you could pick any spread you wanted)

Mix cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese in bowl. Rinse chicken with cold water, shake off excess water. Dip chicken in some melted butter or egg whites or milk (your choice), and then in the cracker mixture. Turn chicken to coat. Place in greased baking dish and bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes or until chicken is done.

For the sauce pour 1/2 cup chicken broth and cream cheese to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly. Simmer 3 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Note: This happens quite fast. Watch carefully! If you let it go too long, it gets thick and clumpy so as soon as it's all melted and slightly thick it's good to go!

Serve sauce over chicken.

*Sorry it's not a great picture. My flash made it look even worse. Even though it doesn't look tasty, I swear to you, it really is! :)
