How to Make Michelle's Chipotle Chicken
- Prepare the chipotle cream sauce: In a saucepan, melt together 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles, and 2-3 finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Heat the sauce gently over low heat until smooth and creamy, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup thinly sliced scallions and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the skillet. Sprinkle one side of each chicken breast with seasoned salt.
- Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Top each chicken breast with an equal amount of the chipotle cream sauce and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Microwave the skillet for 20-30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish each chicken breast with avocado slices and extra cilantro, if desired.
