Sauteed Chicken Breasts in Cream Sauce

This is one of the very few recipes I have that EVERYONE in my family will eat! That's right--EVERYONE! See miracles really do happen! I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and it's fast and easy, which makes it even better. The only thing that keeps us from eating it more often is that I don't always have celery and mushrooms on hand. Enjoy!

2 chicken breasts
1/2 medium onion chopped
2 tbsp. margarine
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp crushed basil
1/4 tsp. chervil
1/8 tsp. crushed thyme
1/3-3/4 cup chicken broth
1 pkg cream cheese
1/4 cup milk
corkscrew pasta

1. Cut chicken into strips and cook in the margarine.
2. Add onions, mushrooms, celery, pepper, basil, chervil, and thyme.
3. Add 2 tbsp. chicken broth and cook til done, stirring occasionally.
4. Cube cream cheese and combine with milk in a saucepan and cook over low heat until smooth.
5. Add remaining chicken broth to cream sauce until desired consistency.
6. Serve chicken over noodles then top with sauce.

We often run out of sauce before noodles when eating this, so don't be afraid to make a little extra!
