Ingredients:
- 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Season the chicken breasts with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Next, add them to the skillet and cook until they’re golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak up all those creamy, rich flavors for about 5 minutes.
- Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro for that extra pop! Serve it up hot with rice or tortillas, and enjoy every bite.
This recipe is not just easy; it’s sure to impress. You can tweak it as you like—add some veggies if you’re feeling fancy, or toss in some cheese for that extra creamy goodness. Either way, it’s comfort food at its finest, and nothing beats a homemade meal like this!
