    Pollo Relleno!, A super tasty dish-always a favorite at Chez Willi, Great chicken used a fresh roasted anaheim chili but otherwise as written Served with Recipe #210692, and Recipe #138699 , My DH always complains when I serve chicken because it’s SO boring (Not that my cooking is boring, but that he’d rather eat bacon for every meal! LOL!) Regardless of his opinions about chicken, we both LOVED this dish! The chicken had so much flavor and interest The crust was crispy and flavorful and the inside was creamy with the perfect amount of spice The other thing I love is that this recipe is really very simple, but looks so impressive! I made as directed and served with rice and a salad Thanks for the great recipe!!!
