Description

A quick, easy and super delish main dish.

Ingredients

  • 2  Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Mexican Oregano
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1  Medium Size Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • ½  Lime
  • 3 teaspoons Flour
  • 2 cups Cooked White Or Brown Rice
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley Or Cilantro (For Garnish)

Preparation

Cut the chicken into bite site pieces and add it into a medium size bowl. Then add the cumin, pepper, garlic power, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and Mexican oregano to the chicken. Mix the chicken, spices and oregano together so that all sides of the chicken are coated.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. And the onions. Sauté the onions for about 3 minutes. Then add the chicken and stir as it cooks, continuing until the chicken is just about completely cooked (about 4 or 5 minutes).

Add the chicken broth and the juice from the lime, and stir. Add the flour and stir it quickly into the broth to avoid it turning into lumps. Continue to stir as the mixture thickens. When the chicken mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency, remove from the pan and serve over rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with a salad or a side of veggies.

I am making this for dinner tonight, as I had all the ingredients at hand and had some left over rice. The recipe comes together easily and the gravy is just delicious; flavorful and spicy, but not overly so. I will serve it with slices avocado and tomatoes on the side. Thank you, Nancy.
