skillet chicken in tomato chipotle sauce
Super delicious! What tickled me is that my son who has been pretty picky this last year ate 3 helpings. Three! I love sauce- what's better than sauce with a sauce on top?! Give this one a try.
skillet chicken in tomato chipotle sauce (skinnytaste)
portions reflect what I need for my family
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, filleted
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
black pepper
olive oil spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
avocado sauce
1/4 cup low fat sour cream
1 avocado
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 small jalapeno pepper, seeds and membrane removed
1 small garlic clove
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon water or more as needed to blend smoothly
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Spray with olive oil spray, add chicken breasts and brown each side, 2 minutes each. Remove chicken from pan and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium, add oil and onions and saute, scraping brown bits with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes or until onions are tender. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds more. Add tomato sauce, chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, return chicken to pan, cover and cook 8-10 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through. Add lime juice and cilantro.
Meanwhile, make avocado sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a small blender and process until smooth and uniform in color.
To serve, top each chicken breast half with tomato sauce mixture, avocado sauce and garnish with cilantro.
The leftovers are even better as soft tacos!!
