Directions
Chicken Breasts in Poblano Sauce, This yummy recipe comes from Jalapenos, a local Mexican restaurant It was originally published in the Houston Chronicle food section, in an article for Cinco de Mayo I have made it with light butter and fat-free heavy cream or half-and-half to cut down on the fat grams and it is still delicious!, This is incredibly good!! used 2 poblano peppers and roasted for more like 10 minutes, removed the skin and put one in the sauce and the other sliced on the chicken used pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar and it was perfect for this dish added a tad more heat The chicken breasts were large so I baked for 20 minutes total I can’t wait to eat the leftover for lunch this week!! I find the flavor of the poblanos get better with time This is going into my keeper file Thanks Leslie in Texas I’m in Texas too!!, We just finished this wonderful meal! I had 2 huge chicken breasts (almost 1lb each that I cut in half horizontally to thin them out and make them more even) I sauteed as directed and cooked the thicker pieces a bit longer (I didn’t flatten them out) Instead of butter, used I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter to cut some cholestrerol out) to saute the chicken For the poblano, I roasted and peeled it and pureed it with nmost of the seeds and the milk Followed the directions for the sauce and the rest as written Absoulutely wonderful!!!!! Even DH, the I don’t like chicken man, said I could make this recipe often! Thank you!!!!!!!
