What’s Cookin’ – Mexican Chicken Recipe

by Pam on February 6, 2013

Ingredients:
1` can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with chipotle peppers
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 pounds)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 tsps minced garlic

Directions:
In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic until tender.  Sprinkle  a dash of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Add the chicken and cook until each side is lightly browned, around two to three minutes per side. Mix together tomatoes and sugar and pour over the chicken mixture. Bring to a boil then turn the burner to simmer. Cover and cook for twenty minutes. Sprinkle each piece of chicken with the Mexican cheese and serve.  This is great served with a salad and French bread.

That looks really great. I used to love a similar dish made at Longhorn Steakhouse. My only problem with your Mexican Chicken recipe… not enough cheese! I need more cheese than that!
