Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped green onions and minced chipotle pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, simmering in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the chipotle green onion gravy spooned over the top.
Notes
- For a milder sauce, use half a chipotle pepper or omit the seeds.
- If you like extra spice, add more adobo sauce or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables to soak up the gravy.
