  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 chicken breasts (or thighs for more juiciness)

  • 2 fresh jalapenos, sliced

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a lighter version)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.

  2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  4. Add the sliced jalapenos to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing them to soften and infuse flavor.

  5. Pour in the chicken broth and lime juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 3 minutes.

  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and jalapenos over it. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy with rice or tortilla chips for a complete meal!
