Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    Chop the chipotle peppers and add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and well combined. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and stir until it thickens.

  6. 6

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes on low heat to combine flavors.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle over the chicken just before serving.
