Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • Salt, pepper, and 2 crushed garlic cloves (to season chicken)

  • 1 large poblano chili
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Step 2: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a roasting pan.  Place crushed garlic on top of and underneath the chicken breast halves.

  • Step 3: Bake in oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.  If desired, flip the breast halves halfway through cooking.

  • Step 4: Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil and lightly saute the poblano pepper until the skin separates (it will appear like the pepper is becoming burned or charred).

  • Step 5: Peel the skin from the pepper under cold running water.

  • Step 6: Remove the core and make a slit down the side of the pepper so as to remove all seeds.

  • Step 7: Slice into thin strips.

  • Step 8: In the same skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and add chorizo, garlic, onion, bell pepper, and poblano pepper.

  • Step 9: Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the onions are soft but not yet translucent, and peppers are soft.

  • Step 10: Add sour cream, half and half, black pepper and salt to taste, stir, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 11: On oven-safe plates, place 1 cup of the vegetable/chorizo mixture, then top with roasted chicken breast.

  • Step 12: Sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese.  Broil until cheese melts.

  • Step 13: Serve immediately.
