Creamy Jalapeno Chicken Skillet
  1. Gently pound the thickest part of your chicken breasts to an even thickness using a mallet. Full directions on how to do this are located in the description above.

  2. Pat chicken dry using a paper towel. Sprinkle your chicken with sea salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano, drizzle with half of the oil and rub on all sides.

  3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a preheated skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken until golden brown and just cooked through. Time varies depending on the thickness of your breasts, but usually 4-6 minutes on each side.

  4. Set your cooked chicken aside on a plate.

  5. Saute the onion, garlic, and jalapeno for 2-3 minutes.

  6. Stir in the broth and allow it to simmer until reduced by half.

  7. Add the cream cheese and whisk until incorporated and smooth.

  8. Reduce the heat to a very low and return the chicken to the skillet; Spoon your creamy sauce over your chicken.

  9. Sprinkle with the cheese and allow the sauce to bubble for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and the chicken is hot.

  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
