Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onion

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the red onion. In a separate pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the sliced red onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the chipotle sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the chicken topped with sautéed red onions and a generous dollop of crème fraîche. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
