Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

  • Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Season the chicken cubes with paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

  • Add the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and coat the chicken.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

  • Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for extra heat.

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with tofu or a plant-based protein.

  • Additional Veggies: You can add bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.

  • Lighter Version: Use half-and-half or low-fat cream to reduce the richness of the sauce.
