Chipotle chicken

by Don  

Ingredients

1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
4 tablespoons sour cream
5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cups (minus 4 tablespoons) sour cream
9 ounces baby spinach, rinsed
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp powdered caldo con sabor de pollo (chicken broth granules)

Adjusted method this time

  1. Combine chopped chile peppers with 4 tablespoons sour cream. Mix together and spread mixture over chicken breasts. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  2. Place marinated chicken in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish and broil for about 8 minutes (rack should be about 6 inches from the top.) Pour remaining cup sour cream around edges of chicken and turn over chicken breasts. Broil for an additional 8 minutes.
  3. Check meat. If not done, give another 15 minutes at 350°. Sour cream should be lightly brown on the edges. Move breasts into a separate dish and cover to keep warm. Set aside.
  4. Pour leftover broiled sour cream into a medium saucepan over high heat. Add spinach, broth and salt to taste. Boil for about 1 minute until all melted and mixed together. Pour mixture over chicken breasts and serve.

Comments

As written, the recipe is tolerable. Broiling time seems unrealistic in the original, and also in my 8-minute version. One has to add more cooking time, which leaves the meat kind of tough.

I think this would be better as a crockpot recipe recipe with the chicken cooking all day long till it falls apart, then adding the sour cream and chipotle.
