Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 5 ounces each
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Salt-free roasted garlic seasoning (recommended: McCormick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 2 jalapeno or serrano peppers, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle to medium high heat and coat with cooking spray. Remove chicken from package and place on a plastic cutting board. Season both sides of chicken with salt, black pepper and garlic seasoning. Using tongs add chicken to hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat with oil. Add onion, jalapeno and sugar and cook 5 to 7 minutes stirring occasionally with a spoon, until golden brown. Add 3/4 cup of the chicken broth and bay leaves and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Pour remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth into a bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Bring onion mixture to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens. Using tongs, discard the bay leaves and remove the pan from heat.
Serve 4 of the chicken breast halves with all of the onion sauce spooned over top and all of the rice on the side. Reserve remaining 4 chicken breast halves for sandwiches.

I made a triple recipe of the onion & jalapeno sauce and served it over the chicken AND a big platter of roasted potatoes, cauliflower, & broccoli. Although I tripled the sauce, I still only used 1 TBS of sugar and 1 TBS of corn starch. I didn't have fresh jalapenos so I used the kind in the jar (and plenty of them- we like hot! and it was healthy and easy to make. I even did the sauce early in the day and just reheated it & dumped it on top of everything else at dinnertime, making supper super simple! I'll be making this again.

I made this for a dinner party of 10, of which a few didn't even have a taste for anything spicy, so it was a bit of rolling the dice. EVERYONE loved it!

I watched the episode where she prepared this dish and the recipe does not have all the ingredients listed. She used a yellow pepper and the large pepper that you make chili rellenos out of. She also used the pickled jalapenos, which I left out because I do not like them. It was great the way she made it and I hope everyone tries the correct recipe.
