My picky boyfriend always eats seconds of this. It's like enchiladas without the tortillas. Serve over rice -- we like to serve with yellow rice or Mexican rice. You will want something to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into a large plastic bag. Close the bag and shake a few times to mix the seasonings, and drop in the chicken pieces, a few at a time. Shake the bag to coat the chicken with seasoned flour.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion and green pepper in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Stir in butter, and allow to melt. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, and cook and stir until the chicken pieces are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high, and pour in chicken broth; stir in the chipotle peppers with adobo sauce. Bring to a boil, and reduce the chicken broth by half, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the sour cream to make a smooth sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides. This could include rice, beans, vegetables, or tortillas.
