Chicken with Creamy Dijon Herb Sauce

Not gourmet, but quick, easy and cheap for a weeknight dinner. It is very dijiony, so you must like that flavor if you are to try. It's also very saucy, so you'll have extra sauce to drizzle/dip on something else like potatoes - I serve it with: Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chicken broth
6 tbsp. FRENCH'S® Dijon Mustard
1/3 cup cream cheese spread, softened
1 T minced herbs (parsley, basil, thyme or chives)*
1 T oil
4 (6 oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts**
1 tsp. minced garlic

Directions:
MIX broth, mustard, cream cheese and herbs until well blended; set aside.

COOK chicken in hot oil in nonstick skillet until browned on both sides, about 15 min.

STIR in mustard sauce and garlic. Simmer over medium heat 3 to 5 min. until sauce thickens slightly and flavors are blended.

*I have used basil and thyme - I liked thyme better. I also think dill would be good.
**I used 3 really thin chicken breasts (1 for each one of us) and it worked great
