Southwest Chicken with Chipotle Cream

The only chipotle peppers I could find were canned in adobe sauce. These worked just great. Also, I'm not a fan of chicken thighs so I just used breasts which of course was delicious. A very spicy, excellent dish that was a snap to make.

I made half a recipe and We loved it. I did add lightly sauteed red onion, yellow peppers and shrimp the last four min. Will use chicken breast for me next time but DH loved the thighs.

I made this a few nights ago and it was delicious. The only changes made was I used roasted garlic, minced chipotle peppers instead of whole (about two good spoonfuls), and added a little extra cumin. The sauce was yummy and next time I'll put a little less chicken just for extra sauce, as it is really good on rice. I will be making this again soon.

This chicken dish hit the spot! I used chicken breasts and sauteed them instead of baking. Also, I did not have any heavy cream, instead I doubled the sour cream. Very, very satisfying served over mashed potatoes. Next time I'll add a few jalepenos to add another layer of flavor.

I made this recipe with sauteed chicken cutlets. It was fast and delicious. The sauce is incredible; it goes great with everything: vegetables, pasta...you name it. We had it over pan fried potatoes, cauliflower, pasta. It last in the refrigerator for quite a while; we save it in Tupperware for at least a week. It's really a life saver.

A richly-flavoured dish that satisfied friends and family. Loved it.

This was pretty good and really easy. Loved the chipotle flavor but I can only give it 4 stars because I was really hoping for a bolder flavor. I think all the cream really overwhelmed the chipotles, as I ate I kept wanting more of the chipotle flavor and less of the bland cream flavor. But I'd still make it again and tweak the balance of chipotles to cream.

This has an amazing flavor. I used chicken breasts, cut into stew size chunks instead of whole chicken pieces. I served over tex mex rice Tex-Mex Rice as reviewer Piper Lee suggested. It was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. A new classic!

This was awesome! Great flavors and easy to make. My 2yo ate a whole thigh by himself. We will definitely make this again. I did use 2% milk instead of cream and light sour cream.

I made this last night. My 11 yr old daughter and I loved this. We thought the sauce was amazing. My husband who I thought would love this dish didn't like it at all. He said it was too creamy. What does he know anyway?! Thanks for sharing. I will make it every chance I get.

I absolutely loved this dish but my family thought it was too spicy even as written so I don't know when I'll have a chance to make it again. I made the dish lighter by using reduced fat sour cream and fat free half and half along with 1% milk. I didn't have chicken parts thawed but I did have left over roasted chicken so I simply prepared the sauce in a saucepan, added shredded roasted chicken and stirred over rice.

Wow! LOVED this dish. Based on the reviews and my diet, I made several adjustments. I did a light version with FF Sour Cream, Skim Milk, Light Mexican Cheese and I halved the butter. I used chicken breasts, rather than legs. I used 3 chiles, but nearly doubled the sour cream and other spices to keep the flavor, but cool it down a bit. It worked wonderfully. DH actually commented on how much he liked this dish again the following morning, which is very rare! I paired this with Ww 2 Points Santa Fe Salad With Chili-Lime Dressing and a baked potato for DH. Wonderful, wonderful dish that will be going into our rotation.

Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts and substituting lowfat or fat free ingredients wherever I could, this winner of a recipe made for tender, moist chicken in a smooth and fiery cream sauce. It was easy to throw together and I made it even more so by just plunking the chicken in a dish, covering it with the sauce and baking for 20 minutes. I then topped it with some queso fresco and baked it another 10 minutes. I started with one chipotle pepper and about 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce and added another pepper to satisfy my hothead of a DH. ;-) It was perfect! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Well as the 35th reviewer, I have to agree this was absolutely delicious! I doubled the sauce to have extra for rice and used 5 chipotle chilies. Next time I am going to saute some big shrimp and and use this sauce, as it would be great on anything!

This is really good! I had about 4 thighs and 5 legs (about 3# total). Used 2 chipotles (just the right amount of smokiness and heat for me) and Monterey jack cheese. Also used skim milk & light sour cream to reduce the fat content some. I removed the skin from the thighs before baking and wish I'd taken the time to do the same with the legs (will do next time) as the skin wasn't very appetizing after baking with the sauce. The only other change I will make is to lightly salt & pepper the chicken before the first bake as the chicken without sauce was a bit bland. After the full specified baking time my chicken was still pretty red so it went back in for an additional 15 minutes, which was perfect. I want to try this again with boneless parts and perhaps use it as an enchilada filling/sauce. Thanks for the recipe!

This is such an awesome recipe! I used 3 chipotle chiles, but next time I might up it to 4 just to try. (We LOVE spice). Next time I'll also use boneless skinless chicken breasts, just because they are easier to eat. GREAT RECIPE! I will make this often! Thanks so much!

MY fault for not reading this better. I LOVE chipotle chili's, but this sauce set my mouth on fire! Too hot! I SHOULD have began with 1 chili and went from there. Now, DH's review.. he wanted more, but didn't want to overdo it, so it's dinner tonight.. Very simple dish, lots of great spice and the creams really soften up the harshness. amberngriffinco

This was a wonderful dish. I did make some modifications. I only used two chipolte chilies as they seemed rather large and spicy and I am glad that I did. I also used boneless skinless chicken breasts and baked them with some taco seasoning to start. I served this with recipe 28113 - Cilantro Rice and some corn and it was a lovely compliment to this flavourful dish with the silent kick. Thanks for posting!

Yum! This is really good! I served mine with some corn rice and slices of hass avocados! I have to say that when it went back in the oven It must've been 40 more mins, I just used a meat thermometer until it reached 180 degrees. I guess it depends on the size of the chicken parts. Thank you for posting!
