Trim all visible fat from chicken. If chicken breasts are quite thick, pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 3/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter and 2-tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet (do not crowd) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Set aside.
Heat 2-tablespoons oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until golden. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the turmeric, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes.
Then add the chicken broth, cream cheese and cream. Bring to a boil and let simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Place chicken back in the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium heat until chicken is cooked through and the sauce slightly thickened.
