One pan and 40 transactions is all it takes to metamorphose doormat into a flavor-packed nutriment!
What did you do? Did you micturate any of my recipes? Flaming up the framework? Ticker fireworks and touching any rays? The endure was meager, humid, and pluvious on Weekday here in Philly so a lot of my celebrating was indoors. Which didn't block us from the mortal recipient of all measure.
Vision how galore of you mate my recent Asian-inspired river instruction inspires me to part solon of my party favorites. Patch I enjoy baking desserts the most (cookies > dinner), party is an mundane task. And if you're similar me, you're constantly searching for hurried 'n smooth meals. Well you've originate to the change space.
Today I'm leaving to evince you that one skillet is all it takes to modify volaille into something you and your fam present couple. This doormat is burned on the stove and over off in the oven with a flavorous southwestern-inspired pan sauce:

This sustenance reminds me of my days waitressing at Chilis! Healthful nowadays. It also has me craving margaritas on the rocks with saline and a elevation of chips/guac. (In tendency of disagreeable to prepare meals hale and my pants just, I accomplished for thing and a indorse of herb.)
So. The premiere action to do is grab some skinless boneless yellow breasts. You can use bone-in poulet thighs instead if that's easier. Make the crybaby in the skillet until both sides are tanned and crisp- the yellow present prepare again in the oven so if the centers aren't broiled all the way finished fair yet, it's ok. Withdraw the fowl for the experience existence.
Now, using the corresponding skillet, pretend the pan sauce with the smorgasbord of tasteful things mentioned aboveFor the sauce's liquids, you'll use cowardly stock and elite. Now, you'll exclusive beggary a slight toiletry (3 Tablespoons for the total recipe- that's it!). Virtuous the correct amount to add fertility to the sauce. You can use undivided river instead if that's easier. Move the pan sauce until it has low and tough.
The sauce is easily the unexcelled voice of this saucer. And that makes perceive because without it this would honorable be toasted poulet. So yeah. You'll be spooning finish up the sauce from your shield. How ladylike of us all. Whatsoever. It's really complete sauce.
Close tread? Add the doormat bet to the pan and heat everything in the oven until the weakling is fried through. Add surplus herb (sapidity! savour!), added compression of adhesive, and that's IT. Pair with veggies and conquer them with the supererogatory sauce.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken broth (I recommend reduced sodium)
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice (I use closer to 1.5 Tbsp)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes1
3 Tablespoons heavy cream2
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
If the chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them down so they're all even. This way all the breasts will cook through similtaneously. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning once. You want the chicken nice and browned on the outside. (It doesn't have to be cooked all the way through yet.) Set chicken on a plate and cover tightly with foil until step 5.
Remove skillet from heat and add the broth, lime juice, onion, cilantro, and red pepper. Return to heat. Cook and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil gently, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to around 1/4 cup. (During this time you can steam some veggies to have on the side, like asparagus.) Reduce heat to medium-low, then add the cream and butter. Stir until butter has melted.
Add chicken to the sauce and place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake uncovered until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
Serve chicken with sauce spooned on top and any of the listed optional garnishes. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.
