Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut in half lengthwise
- 3 large poblano peppers
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack Cheese slices or shredded
Marinade
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning 1 packet
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 medium lime
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Pico de Gallo and Sour Cream for garnish optional
Instructions
- In medium bowl, whisk taco seasoning, oil, vinegar, water, juice of lime and pepper. Place chicken breast halves into a large ziploc storage bag and pour marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and work the marinade around until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Refrigerate at least 3 hours.

- Place the whole peppers on preheated medium grill and cook until blackened on all sides. Remove from the heat and immediately place in a plastic bag to let the peppers sweat for 20 minutes.
