Chicken Dish - A One Dish recipe for a busy night

2 Lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) - marinaded if desired
1 C. Chicken Stock
1/2 C. heavy cream
1/2 C. cheese of choice, shredded parmesan, chedder, or romano would all be good
1 1/2 c. sliced peppers
1/4 c. white wine

Thickener: 2 Tbsp cream / 1 heaping Tbsp flour

Heat non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil. Sear chicken breasts until outsides are golden brown. Add chicken stock, wine, cream, and peppers. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Add peppers and continue to simmer for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Remove chicken from pan. In a small bowl, mix flour and cream. Add flour paste to the sauce in the pan and stir to combine. Allow sauce to thicken for approximately 5 minutes then serve over chicken.

Goes well with spaghetti squash, faux-tatos, or real mashed 'taters in case you aren't lowcarbing it! YUM
