• Bring to a boil then reduce heat slightly and continue heating until the tomatoes and jalapenos turn light green (about 10-15 minutes).
• Remove from heat and drain well.
• Scoop mixture into a blender, then add onion, lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper.
• Puree to desired consistency and set aside.
• In a shallow casserole dish, roast the Poblano chili under a broiler until black on all sides.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Once cool, peel off black skin and remove stems.
• Next, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add chicken. Cook until lightly browned, then set aside.
• Add onions to skillet and brown.
• Add chicken, chicken stock and seasoning and boil until water is evaporated.
• Next, slice open Poblanos and lay them flat in a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
• Top with chicken mixture, verde sauce and cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake at 375 about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling.
• Remove foil and cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.
