Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

24 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp butter
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (or 1 poblano for a milder flavor)
2 tbsp onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp flour (or arrowroot for low carb and gluten free)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup canned nonfat evaporated milk
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat an oven proof pan over medium high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Once it is nice and hot, sear the chicken breasts on both sides and then place in the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes. You want the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees but cooking time might vary slightly depending on the thickness of the breast.
Using a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, jalapenos, and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes. Then whisk in the flour to create a roux.
Turn the heat down to medium low and add the skim milk and evaporated milk. Cook for about 7 minutes until it begin to thicken. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Right before serving, squeeze the lemon over the chicken breasts and spoon the sauce over.

SWEET JALAPENO CHICKEN

Sweet Jalapeno Chicken image

Fast and easy, and delicious, with the flavors of jalapeno jelly, Dijon mustard and honey. Do try to use the RED jalapeno jelly, however; the green-colored one looks much less appetizing (though it still tastes fine)!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories main-dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 half chickens (about 3 pounds total)
1 (10-ounce) jar red jalapeno pepper jelly (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
Vegetable oil, for grilling
Grilled potatoes, for serving

Steps:

1. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken. In another bowl, whisk together the jelly, vinegar, and rosemary.
2. Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the chicken halves, bone side down, for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until there are dark grill marks on the skin, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken again and brush the skin with the jelly mixture. Continue cooking, brushing the skin every 10 minutes with the jelly mixture, reserving some for serving, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh but not touching the bone registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into serving pieces and serve with the extra glaze on the side.
