Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken tenderloins , cut into ½ - inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1½ cups sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup cheese
- 1 small onion
- 3 garlic
- 5 to 8 pieces of peppers from a canned Chipotle in adobo sauce plus 3 tablespoons of the adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Knorr chicken bouillon or kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl and season them with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic; set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to a plate and let them cool.
- In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through about 8 to 10 minutes. You might need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, 3 tablespoons of the adobo sauce, half of the milk, cheese, and the cooled sautéed garlic and onion.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Stir in the remaining milk to cool down the chicken and prevent curdling. Pour the chipotle sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet.
- Place the skillet over low heat, allowing the sauce to simmer gently, about 2 to 3 minutes. Don't let it boil, as this can curdle the sauce. Then remove from heat and serve.
