CHICKEN BREASTS WITH JALAPEÑO CHEESE SAUCE

Skillet seared chicken breasts are covered in a jalapeño cheddar sauce for an easy, flavorful dinner that’s great for a weeknight or for company!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 4 (5-6 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
• 3 medium jalapeños, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 4 oz. cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat)
• 1 heaping cup shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Add to pan and sear for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
2. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (They will finish cooking later.)
