Ingredients
  • 1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Sauce Ingredients:
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream
  • ¼ Cup Green Chili’s (can be found near ethnic cuisine items in cans or jarred. I prefer the chopped canned variety for this recipe)
  • 1 small tomato chopped into ¼” pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
Directions
  1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry.
  2. Generously sprinkle seasonings on both sides of chicken breasts.
  3. Place in large skillet containing heated olive oil and cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side (cook time may vary depending on size and thickness of breasts). Chicken should be browned slightly on outside and cooked through with juices running clear.
  4. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. In skillet you just removed chicken from, lightly brown minced garlic in remaining olive oil.
  6. Add in butter, tomato and green chili. Cook this for 2-3 minutes or until tomatoes start to become tender.
  7. Stir in sour cream until well incorporated, turn on low and reduce for 5-7 minutes. A
  8. dd chicken back to pan and heat for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Serve over rice with sauce generously poured on top. Tortilla chips may be added for extra crunch.
