Creamy Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Cups Recipe By Tasty Recipes

CREAMY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet to medium high.
• Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 minutes per side, turning once. They have to look lightly golden. Remove the chicken and place on a plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, add the heavy cream, milk, LA MORENA®Chipotles in Adobo, and powdered chicken bouillon into your blender. Process for a couple of minutes until it has a fine texture.
• Using a paper towel, clean up any excess oil from the skillet where you cooked the chicken. Turn the heat to medium and pour the creamy chipotle mixture in to slowly cook. Make sure to watch the heat, as the sauce has to be gently simmering, NOT boiling. Too much heat will affect the cream and it will curdle. Cook for 4 minutes and then add the chicken breasts.
• Cook for 4 more minutes, turning the chicken breasts if needed to have an even cooking.
