Instructions
-
Season the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the boneless chicken breast halves generously with Creole seasoning to enhance the flavor profile of your dish.
-
Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Add the Sauce Ingredients: Once the chicken is browned, pour in the cup of water, add the drained green chilies, and squeeze in the fresh lime juice. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together while ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
-
Stir in Sour Cream: Finally, stir in the sour cream, mixing well until heated through. This will create a rich, creamy sauce that beautifully complements the chicken.
-
Serve: Serve the Chicken Creole hot, drizzling the chili cream sauce over the top. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal!
