Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds chicken breasts
2–3 fresh jalapeños, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup chicken broth
Juice from 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped onions and jalapeños. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Reduce heat to medium and pour in chicken broth. Stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Add heavy cream and lime juice. Stir until well combined and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the cheese: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce.
Combine: Return cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for about 2-3 minutes to ensure chicken is heated through.
Serve: Plate the chicken, spoon more sauce on top, and garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and a lime wedge.
