Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 4 cups Cooked rice or pasta (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the salsa verde and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Serve the creamy chicken verde over cooked rice or pasta, or with warm tortillas for a complete meal.
