Instructions

Pat chicken pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet, then add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown.
Reduce heat, add minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, then stir in chipotle peppers and adobo sauce.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, cook for another minute, then pour in chicken broth and scrape the fond from the skillet.
