Place 4 chicken breasts into a baggie.

Add 1 teaspoon of white or black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the bag.

Add 3 minced garlic cloves and shake to coat the chicken.

Open the bag and add half a thinly sliced onion and 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, then shake again.

Set the bag aside while preparing the sauce.

In a blender, combine 1.5 cups of half and half, 4 tomatillos (canned), 0.5 tablespoon of chicken bouillon, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 0.5 tablespoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of cumin; blend until smooth.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken, searing for 6 minutes.

Flip the chicken and add a few pieces of butter on top.

Add the prepared sauce to the pan and about half a cup of water, mixing well.

Sprinkle 0.5 tablespoon of Mexican oregano over the chicken and sauce.

Cook on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
