Steps:
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Roughly chop 1 jalapeno pepper and 1 poblano pepper; add to the skillet with chicken and garlic. Squeeze lime over mixture and add lime rind to the skillet. Cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place remaining jalapeno and poblano peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Cook peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Chop cooked chicken into small pieces and place into a bowl. Add hot peppers to the bowl, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel skin from peppers, remove seeds, and slice.
- Place small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Place 5 tortillas on on top. Place 1/2 of the sliced poblano and jalapeno peppers on top of tortillas. Lay out 1/2 of the chicken and 1/2 of the Mexican cheese on top of the peppers. Spoon 1/2 of the remaining enchilada sauce on top of cheese layer. Repeat layering steps. Top with chopped cilantro.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheesy is melted and browning, about 25 minutes.

CHEESY GREEN CHILI SNACKS
These are terrific little cheesy flat biscuit like snacks. Some people call them crackers. I do not remember where I got this recipe, but I make it quite often and they always go fast at our church gatherings. I use Louisiana hot sauce in mine, but I think any kind of hot sauce would work. I hope you like them as much as we do. They are good right out of the oven or a day or two later. I like to cook them until they are good and brown so they will get a little bit of a crunch along with the chewy. I am not sure about the serving size because these are an appetizer or snack.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers. For this recipe, you'll want to use green chiles that are mild to medium in heat, such as Anaheim or poblano peppers. If you prefer a spicier snack, you can use hotter peppers, such as jalapeños or serranos. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before cooking, as these are the parts of the pepper that contain the most heat.
- Roast the peppers before stuffing them. Roasting the peppers intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to digest. To roast the peppers, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling.
- Use a variety of cheeses. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cheesy green chile snacks. For a classic flavor, use a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. If you want something a little more unique, try using a combination of goat cheese, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add other ingredients to your cheese filling, such as cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, or chopped green onions.
- Don't overfill the peppers. When you're stuffing the peppers, be sure not to overfill them. Otherwise, the filling will spill out during baking. Aim to fill the peppers about two-thirds full.
- Bake the peppers until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your peppers and the type of cheese you're using. As a general rule, bake the peppers for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Cheesy green chile snacks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, you can customize these snacks to your liking. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give cheesy green chile snacks a try.
