Description

This dish was inspired by a chicken dish I had at a restaurant in Green Bay a while back. It almost reminded me of a jalapeno popper. I needed to make my own twist. This dish is super easy and tastes great. It is pretty spicy so depending on your tolerance, you can ease back on the jalapeno—or add more if you want a bigger bang!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped
  • 1 whole Large Jalapeno, Stemmed And Sliced Thin (I Used A Mandoline)
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 6 Oz Each)
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 dash White Wine (optional)
  • 1 whole Small Tomato, Seeded And Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • ⅛ cups Sour Cream

Preparation

Saute onions and jalapenos in olive oil in a large rimmed skillet. While vegetables are cooking, season chicken with salt and pepper. When vegetables are tender, add wine, tomatoes, cumin, and broth. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to medium heat and add the chicken. Simmer, covered, for 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese and sour cream. Serve over rice or pasta.

I made this for dinner last night and it was amazing. I used canned jalapenos because someone used the one I had reserved for the recipe. Also I used Apple Cider Vinegar in the place over white wine.

This sounds good! I’m a wimp, so I would probably have to cut back on the jalapeno, or use a milder pepper :)

I was hoping for more jalapeno and less salsa flavor. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t a favorite.
