Sometimes dinner just needs to be simple and fast.
But of course, still incredibly delicious…and in today’s case, a little cheesy too. Guys, that is this dinner. You all know I love a good Mexican inspired meal, and when made in one pan, well you really just cannot be beat that! Real quick sidenote here…I HATE to talk about the weather yet again, but you guys, it’s been snowing since Monday night and the forecast calls for on and off snow into May! I actually had a completely different post planned for today, but the chilly weather had me feeling like I needed to show you guys this easy chicken recipe! Someone, please get me outta this freezing cold climate…FOR REAL. Anyway, even if your weather is sunny and warm, this is still the perfect dinner…
Let me explain. This recipe is made and ready to go un under forty-five minutes, it calls for only eight ingredients (not including the salt and pepper) and it uses just one skillet or sheet pan. Best part? Even though it’s super simple to make, it’s still so freaking good. And semi-healthy..ish too. Cause you know I think cheese is health food. Balance people, balance. Anyway, here’s the break down of this recipe: …start off by charring up some fresh tomatillos. I LOVE the flavor a charred tomatillo adds to a dish, and it’s perfect for making a salsa verde style sauce. …once your tomatillos are charred, you’re going to puree them with a couple of cans of my favorite Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles, a pinch of chili powder, and some salt and pepper. The green chiles add a nice subtle heat to the sauce, which is perfect with this cheesy Mexican chicken. …Next up, stuff the chicken with some pepper jack cheese (YUM) and bake just until the chicken begins to get a nice crust. Then add the tomatillo sauce and finish baking. …DONE. You see? pretty simple!
I really can’t express enough just how much we are loving this chicken over here. It’s perfect when paired with some steamed rice, tortillas, sliced avocado, and fresh lime. I’m thinking your Wednesday night needs this recipe. Are we all in agreement?
Cool, cheesy green chile chicken it is! You guys are going to love this one! {This post is sponsored by Old El Paso. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Half Baked Harvest cooking!! }
