Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 slices pepperjack cheese
- 2 poblano peppers, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, chopped or sliced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 jar salsa verde
- fresh cilantro and limes for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F
- Slice the chicken through the middle horizontally to within a 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Spread the cream cheese on 1 side of the chicken, then add the pepper jack and a few poblano pepper slices. Fold the other side of the chicken over the peppers/cheese, like a book, to enclose the filling. Place the chicken in the skillet or baking dish. Rub with olive oil
- In a small bowl combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings all over the chicken
- Sprinkle the remaining poblano peppers and onions around the chicken. Drizzle everything with olive oil, then pour over the salsa verde. Bake 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with fresh cilantro and limes
