Indulge in the creamy, comforting flavors of Pollo en Salsa de Crema tonight for a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine!

1

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

3

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

4

In the same skillet, add 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

5

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, as this adds flavor.

6

Once simmering, whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring the mixture to a low boil.

7

Dissolve 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a bit of water to create a slurry and add it to the skillet while stirring. This will thicken the sauce.

8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the creamy sauce for about 10 more minutes, until done.

9

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
