Chicken breasts with jalapeño cheese sauce image

Skillet seared chicken breasts are covered in a jalapeño cheddar sauce for an easy, flavorful dinner that's great for a weeknight or for company!

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 (5-6 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
3 medium jalapeños, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 oz. cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat)
1 heaping cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Add to pan and sear for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Remove chicken breasts from the skillet to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (They will finish cooking later.)
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining two teaspoons olive oil to pan.
  • Add diced onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
  • Add chicken broth and cream cheese and stir until melted. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and mixture is simmering.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and turn to coat in the cheese sauce.
  • Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 7-9 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. (It will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are.) I like to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve chicken breasts with extra sauce spooned over the top, and enjoy!

CREAMY CHICKEN CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE



Creamy Chicken Cheddar Cheese Sauce image

Creamy Chicken Cheddar Cheese Sauce - Chicken smothered in a rich and creamy cheddar sauce with parsley is a truly heartwarming, so cozy, and one perfect dinner meal. Very quick and easy dinner recipe idea to make from scratch which only takes you 30 minutes to make.

Provided by Julia | The Yummy Bowl

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Pinch of salt
For the sauce:
6-7 mushrooms ((or more if you love mushrooms))
1 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cup cheddar (grated)
½ tsp chili flakes
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (chopped)

Steps:

  • Wash chicken breasts, pat dry with a tissue.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half, and then each piece into 3. Which will make a total of 12 chicken pieces. (If you want, you can also cut the chicken breast into long strips. The chicken will cook even faster this way)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and transfer to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Leave it aside. (Cook on high heat, don't reduce the heat. Cooking this way will result in more tender chicken from the inside and slightly crispy from the outside.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add cream, take it to a boil, and reduce heat. Don't boil! Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Top with grated cheddar cheese and chopped parsley leaves, stirring and mixing everything well until cheese is melted.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, add chili flakes and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Taste if you need more salt. The cheddar is quite salty itself, so you may want to leave it as it is.
  • Garnish with parsley and you are ready to serve your delicious dinner!

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Blue Cheese Sauce image

Chef Pierre Franey: This dish, like so many I have created over the years, came about by accident. One day while cooking with Craig Claiborne, I asked our kitchen assistant to hand me some cheese, thinking we had some Gruyere. Instead, he handed me a quarter pound of blue cheese. My first reaction was negative, but on second thought I said, "Why not?" I was very pleased with the result.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
salt, to taste if desired (optional)
fresh ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 lb blue cheese
4 slices of thinly sliced cooked ham (about 1/4 pound)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the breast halves with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly on one side. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, and continue stirring rapidly. Add the cream and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
  • Add the ham slices to the skillet in which the chicken pieces cooked and saute briefly on both sides just enough to heat through. Transfer the slices to a heated serving dish and cover each slice with a piece of chicken breast.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stiffing until wilted. Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Stir in the cheese sauce.
  • Place a sieve over a small saucepan and strain the sauce, stirring and pushing down with a plastic spatula to press through as much of it as possible. There should be about 1 1/3 cups of sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.
