Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Stir in green onions and chipotle chile powder.
Step 2
Return chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; cook chicken breasts in hot oil until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a warm plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Step 5
Melt butter in the same skillet. Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir until gravy begins to simmer and thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
