SEARED CHICKEN WITH GREEN PIRI PIRI SAUCE

Courtesy of: https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/seared-chicken-breasts-green-piri-piri-sauce

I used the same sauce and made steak and used it as a dip or you can put some on top. It is spicy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped seeded poblano pepper
1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 garlic cloves
4 green onions, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Step 1Place basil, poblano, stock, jalapeño, vinegar, juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, sugar, garlic, and 3 green onions in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely chopped.

Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken; cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 8 minutes. Add basil mixture to pan; bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, 5 minutes. Place chicken on a platter; drizzle with basil mixture. Thinly slice remaining green onion; sprinkle over top.
