Ingredients

1lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 4 fillets
4 medium sized potatoes, sliced into sixths (I used Russett)
1 large yellow onion
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
2 cups fat free chicken broth
2 tbsp chipotle seasoning blend
1 tbsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Spray a large Dutch oven with nonfat cooking spray and set over medium high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and then rub chipotle seasoning all over both sides of chicken.
Place chicken in Dutch oven and cook until each side is browned (about 3-4 minutes each side).
Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Add in the onions and sauté until onions become tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Add in broth and then return chicken to pan. Add in tomatoes and garlic powder.
Let simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Turn heat to low and add in potatoes. Cook on low, gently stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and tender, about 20-30 minutes.
