2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 whole roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

½ (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

16 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

This easy salsa verde chicken is sure to satisfy your Mexican food craving!

Provided by Rosie

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cups prepared salsa verde
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 13 X 9-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Place chicken breasts in pan, and season with salt, pepper and cumin.
  • Pour salsa verde evenly over chicken.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Top with pepper jack cheese, and bake for additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatillos. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the tomatillos, onions, and cilantro by hand. However, the salsa will have a smoother texture if you use a blender or food processor.
  • If you like your salsa spicy, add a serrano pepper or two to the blender or food processor. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the salsa immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts in green salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salsa is made with fresh, ripe tomatillos, onions, cilantro, and serrano peppers, and it has a bright, tangy flavor. The chicken is cooked in the salsa until it is tender and juicy, and it is served with rice and beans. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
