Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast with ancho chili powder, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the toppings. Dice the onion and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a pinch of salt and lime juice for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. On a serving plate, layer the chicken strips. Drizzle with ancho salsa, top with the crema (sour cream mixture), diced onions, and shredded cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Al Carbon!
