1. Mix cracker crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on plate and set aside. Rinse chicken with cold water and gently shake off excess. Dip chicken in crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each chicken breast with the crumb mixture.

3. Add chicken broth and the cream cheese to same skillet. Cook on medium heat until mixture just comes to boil, stirring constantly.
