Mexican Chicken

Spray baking pan with nonstick spray. Place large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the pan. Sprinkle with Goya Adobo seasoning (0 carbs). Top each piece of chicken with 1 tablespoon of sour cream (1 gram carbs) and two tablespoons of salsa verde (green salsa, 2 grams carbs). Split palano peppers length wise and seed. Place 1/2 pepper over each piece of chicken (2 grams carbs). Top each pepper half with one ounce shreded Mexican blend cheese (1 gram carbs). Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Total 6 grams carbs. Adjust recipe to taste and carb tollerance.

Re: Mexican Food!

That sounds so good!!! I may have to try this, but how hot are the Palano peppers? I have not heard of those.

Re: Mexican Food!

I am thinking Vampyre meant poblano peppers and just forgot the B?

that does sound like an awesome recipe and if it is poblano they are spicy but not killer hot
they are a very yummy pepper!!!

Re: Mexican Food!

mmm sounds yummy. Similar to Linda's Green Enchilada Chicken...but easier to make. I'll have to try this.

Re: Mexican Food!

That does sound good, Is there a hotter pepper than pablano's though that might be useable? We like things very spicey!

Mog, I bet you could split a few jalepenos instead of one poblano. I cant eat most raw peppers (with the exception of banana peppers and some hotter peppers) so Id prolly use canned chilis myself instead of raw.

Re: Mexican Food!

But the pepper should be cooked by the time the chicken is ToC. Jalepenos are o.k. but I'd rather have a big pepper that's hot. We use jalepenos all the time, I'd like to try something different.

Re: Mexican Food!

Poblano peppers are fairly mild. They are only a little spicier than a bell pepper. They do cook to a soft consistancy during the baking. To spice it up, I would add more jalepeno to the salsa verde. The poblanos halves seal nicely against the chicken and hold the salsa and sour cream in. My dh came up with this because we are both still on induction and I miss enchiladas. I don't anymore. Peppers are tastier wraps than tortillas.
