Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (butterflied if possible)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 tub Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix
- 150ml / 5 fl. oz tub sour cream
- 1 bunch of coriander
- 300ml / 10 fl. oz chicken/vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Gran Luchito Mexican Sliced Cactus
- Salt & pepper
- Olive oil
- Knob of butter
- 1 lime
How to make it
- Heat a frying pan over a medium/high heat.Â
- In a bowl, cover the chicken breasts in a little olive oil and a little salt & pepper. Add to the pan until golden on both sides (5 minutes each side – but keep your eye on them!). Reduce heat to low/medium, place a lid on the pan and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through (if using butterflied chicken breasts, this will be a little quicker. Cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the breasts. Cut at the thickest point to check if cooked).Â
- When cooked, remove chicken and leave aside.
- To the frying pan, add the sliced onion, dried oregano and a little more olive oil or a knob of butter. Fry until nicely softened (10-12 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another few minutes, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix, stock, a handful of the roughly chopped coriander and a pinch of pepper (the Gran Luchito seasoning has salt in it).
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil then whisk in the sour cream and Gran Luchito Mexican Sliced Cactus. Bring back to a gentle boil, then add the chicken breasts back in for a few minutes.
- Serve with the remaining coriander leaves and a sprinkle of Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix. Serve with wedges of lime to squeeze over.
