Crockpot Jalapeno Chicken Breasts Food

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH JALAPEñO CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
• Remove chicken breasts from the skillet to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (They will finish cooking later.)
• Reduce heat to medium and add remaining two teaspoons olive oil to pan.
• Add diced onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
• Add chicken broth and cream cheese and stir until melted. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and mixture is simmering.
• Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and turn to coat in the cheese sauce.
• Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 7-9 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. (It will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are.) I like to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time.
• Serve chicken breasts with extra sauce spooned over the top, and enjoy!
