Green Chile and Cilantro Chicken Skillet

Green Chile and Cilantro Chicken Skillet

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp green chile and cilantro seasoning mix

1 cup green chilies (roasted and diced, fresh or canned)

1 small onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Cooked rice or warm tortillas (for serving)

Instructions:

• Season the Chicken
• Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with salt, pepper, and half of the green chili and cilantro seasoning mix.
• Sear the Chicken
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
• Cook the Aromatics
• In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add diced onions and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
• Add Green Chilies and Seasoning
• Stir in the remaining green chili and cilantro seasoning mix, followed by the roasted green chilies. Cook for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
• Simmer the Sauce
• Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
• Return Chicken to the Skillet
• Place the chicken back into the skillet, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
• Finish with Sour Cream and Lime
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and stir the sour cream and lime juice into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Serve
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with rice or tortillas for a complete meal.
