Instructions

Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the hot pan and sear for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (They will finish cooking later.)
Reduce the heat of the skillet to medium and pour the remaining olive oil into the pan. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and chipotle peppers and saute for another 30 seconds.
Add adobo sauce, chicken broth, and cream cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese has melted into the sauce. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices on the plate. Turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 7-9 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. (Cooking time will depend on how thick the chicken breasts are.) I like to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time.
Once the chicken is cooked (165 degrees F internal temp), turn off the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm with extra sauce spooned over the chicken and some parsley or cilantro for garnish.
