Chicken with Chunky Pepper Sauce

Becky Luigart-Stayner; Cindy Manning Barr
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) package frozen pepper stir-fry, thawed
- 2 teaspoons chopped drained canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 medium lime, quartered
Preparation
Place thawed pepper stir-fry and the chipotle chiles in a blender or food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarsely chopped.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken; add pepper mixture. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add lime juice, oil, and salt; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Spoon 1/4 cup pepper sauce onto each of 4 plates; top each serving with one chicken breast half. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cilantro, and top with 1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream. Serve with lime quarters.

I've made this several times. I serve over steamed rice and always add some diced avocado over the top with the cilantro.01/26/09

I made this last night and served it with brown rice. Before cooking the chicked, I seasoned it with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Good thing, too, cause the recipe lacked flavor. I would recommend adding some cumin to the pepper sauce whill cooking, along with some salt and fresh cilantro. The cilantro as a garnish was good, but it would be better with the flavor cooked in. I doubt I'll make this recipe again, although I might try making a variation of it.05/31/07
