So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights.

Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes.

From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house.

And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…

This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night!

These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker.

I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy.

Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…

And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone.

Creamy chipotle chicken recipe

June 29, 2017 By Kathryn Doherty

This chipotle chicken recipe is a simple and flavorful 30-minute dinner with a delicious smoky, creamy sauce (that’s healthy and made without heavy cream)! Serve over rice to soak up the extra sauce!Creamy chipotle chicken is a simple but super flavorful 30-minute dinner

This recipe first appeared on Real Housemoms, where I am a contributor.

With summer here in full force and the kids at home for most of the day, I’m ready to relax into a little less work and a little more play. 🙌

You know, long afternoons at the pool or playground, lazy weekend mornings in our PJs in the backyard, evenings looking for fireflies and sipping on something delicious.

So today I’m bringing you creamy chipotle chicken, a quick and easy dinner that’s big on flavor! It’s ready in 30 minutes so you can spend more time in play mode.  😉

This recipe is based on my chicken breasts with jalapeño cheese sauce recipe – it’s the same technique, just a slightly different flavor in the sauce.

Can you tell I like some spicy and some smoky flavors?!

(Oh and my healthy creamy Italian chicken skillet uses the same technique with new flavors too. Sometimes when you find a winner, you want to tweak it and make it ALL the delicious ways!)

This chipotle chicken recipe has tender, juicy chicken breasts that are seared then finished in a rich, velvety sauce. 😍

Creamy chipotle chicken recipe - easy, one-pan, 30-minute dinner

And oh that chipotle cream sauce; it really takes this dish over the top! It’s smoky, with just a touch of heat, and has such a depth of flavor.

Seriously spoon-licking good!

(Plus, it’s made with no heavy cream, so it’s a bit lightened up and easy to make anytime. Or maybe it’s just me who never has heavy cream on hand…)

Also, it’s really simple to make — but sure doesn’t taste that way! So in addition to being great for an easy weeknight dinner, it’s also a good recipe for company!

Now, I’ve got some notes and tips coming up for this recipe. Just tryin’ to be helpful.

If you want to jump on down to the recipe, simply scroll right on through the rest of the text. The recipe card is near the bottom of the page, above the comments section.

Creamy chipotle chicken one-pan dinner

Notes on this creamy chipotle chicken recipe:

  • To make things efficient, you can chop your onion, garlic and chipotle peppers while the chicken is searing. 👍
  • I use 1/3 less fat plain cream cheese here. Full fat would work fine, too. You could substitute fat-free cream cheese if that’s what you prefer, but it’ll lose a little richness.
  • Similarly, I use nonfat Greek yogurt, but 2% or 5% are OK too. You can also substitute sour cream if that’s what you have on hand.
  • I use 3 chipotle peppers and 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce in this recipe and find that to be well balanced. You can increase or decrease that to your liking to adjust the smoky and spicy flavors.

You are in for so much YUM!

So let’s talk the details of what to do here.

How to make this chipotle chicken recipe:

– You’re going to season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper then sear them in a pan with olive oil over medium high heat, to create a beautiful golden brown color. This helps flavor the actual chicken on its own.

– Then you remove the chicken breasts from the pan. No, they aren’t finished cooking through. Yes, they will continue to cook in a few minutes.

– In the same skillet, you made the chipotle cream sauce. You sauté the onion, garlic and chipotle peppers over medium heat then add the adobo sauce, chicken broth and cream cheese. Stir until it’s all melty and well combined.

– Return the chicken breasts to the pan, along with any of those great juices that accumulate on the plate. That’s extra flavor so don’t waste it!

– Turn the chicken breasts over in the pan to get them well coated in your yummy sauce. Then cover the pan and cook everything together over medium-low heat until the chicken is all the way cooked through.

– Lastly, after you turn the heat off, stir in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream). This adds a final touch of richness and creaminess, and ensures it won’t curdle.

Creamy chipotle chicken dinner served with rice

Last tip: Be sure to serve the chicken with ALL the sauce. You don’t want to skimp on the sauce.

(The only exception is if you start spooning the sauce to your mouth before you serve it. Been there. It’s called the cook’s prerogative. 😉) 

Ready to round out the rest of the meal?

Serving ideas for chipotle chicken: 

– We love serving this over steamed brown rice with plenty of extra sauce! White rice works too.

– You could also try it over quinoa, pasta or mashed potatoes. Even polenta would be great here.

– For a vegetable side, we love this with steamed asparagus (like my steamed lemon butter asparagus) or some steamed or roasted broccoli or broccolini.

– Even just a nice green salad would go well with this. (The chicken has so much flavor, it’s OK for the sides to stay pretty simple.)

Hope you give this recipe a try and hope you get to enjoy some slower days this summer!

Happy cooking!

Creamy chipotle chicken

Creamy chipotle chicken is a simple but super flavorful 30-minute dinner

Creamy chipotle chicken is a simple but super flavorful 30-minute dinner with a delicious smoky chipotle cream sauce - that’s healthy!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 (5-6 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 chipotle peppers, minced
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz. 1/3 less fat cream cheese
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Add to pan and sear for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  3. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (They will finish cooking later.)
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining two teaspoons olive oil to pan.
  5. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and chipotle peppers and saute for 30 more seconds.
  6. Add adobo sauce, chicken broth and cream cheese and stir until melted.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and turn to coat in the sauce.
  8. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 7-9 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. (It will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are.) I like to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time.
  9. Once chicken is cooked through, turn off heat and stir in Greek yogurt. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  10. Serve chicken breasts with extra sauce spooned over the top, and enjoy!

Notes

To make things efficient, you can chop your onion, garlic and chipotle peppers while the chicken is searing.

I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese here. Full fat would work fine, too. You could substitute fat-free cream cheese if that’s what you prefer, but it’ll lose a little richness.

I use 3 chipotle peppers and 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce in this recipe. You can increase or decrease that to your liking.

    I’m with you Kathryn! I love spicy and smoky flavours too. I wish it was summer here in New Zealand but unfortunately it’s the middle of winter (want to swap?), but I think your dish would be the perfect winter warmer too. I’m making it this week. Yum!

      Hi Beverly! It’s the sauce that the chipotle peppers come in. I buy a small can and it’s called “chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.” Goya and Embasa are the brands they have in my grocery store and they’re near all the taco stuff in the international aisle for me. I hope that helps!

          Hmm, I’ve not made this with that substitution and I’m not sure it’s going to be a good swap. You could certainly give it a try though – it might be a tasty, if slightly different, dish! I’d say just do a light dusting of chipotle seasoning on the chicken breasts – maybe a teaspoon total. Would love to hear what you think!

      It’s the sauce that the chipotle peppers come in – you buy them as “Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce.” They have some you can order on Amazon if that helps (or to see what it looks like) – https://amzn.to/3itqS8u I’m not sure there’s a great substitute, but if you somehow have the chipotle peppers and no sauce, you could probably just leave the sauce off. Hope that helps!

      If you have an Albertsons near you, they should have some. Just bought some at the Albertsons in Miles City, Montana. Hope this helps. And also, I have made this 3 times. The first time I followed the recipe to a tee. The next 2 times I tripled the ingredients for the sauce. We like enough sauce to coat all of our rice. I also add about a teaspoon to a teaspoon and a half of browning sauce to mine. This recipe is so good!
