Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 medium onions chopped
- ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ cup reduced fat sour cream
- 3 plum tomatoes seeded and chopped
- Hot cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- If your chicken breasts are large, butterfly them to cut them in half and/or pound them thinner.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Brown chicken on both sides.
- Add the onions, broth, jalapenos, cumin and garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through (thermometer reads 165°F), about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm.
- Stir cream cheese and sour cream into jalapeno mixture. Stir in tomatoes and heat through. Do not boil or the sauce will break. Add the chicken back to the pan to rewarm as needed.
