Step 1

Season the chicken slices with a little salt and pepper, then set aside.

Step 2

Spray a large frying pan with low calories cooking spray and place over a medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken and quickly seal it on all sides, then remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Return the pan to the medium heat. Add the vinegar to the Worcestershire sauce and deglaze the pan with the mixture, scraping and stirring the browned bits from the bottom of the pan - use some of the stock if you need to. When most of the liquid has evaporated, spray the pan with some low calories spray. Add the onion, mushrooms and garlic and saute for 5 minutes until they start to brown, then add the dijon mustard and cook for a minute or two, stirring. Add the stock to the pan and simmer until reduced by half, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, making sure there are no lumps of cheese.

Step 5

Return the chicken to the pan, stir well and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked. If the sauce seems a little thick you can add some more water until it reaches the consistency you prefer.

Step 6

Sprinkle with chopped chives and smoked paprika, if desired.
