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

Equipment

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill to 350°F.
  4. 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. After 20 minutes, remove the peppers and the skin should easily peel off of each one. When peeled, slice in half and clean out the seeds. Set aside.

Cook over low heat with the lid closed until the cheese melts. Place on a serving plate, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
