Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to create a smooth roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously, making sure there are no lumps. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the oven or transfer the contents into a baking dish if the skillet is not oven-safe.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the creamy chicken over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months if making ahead.
