Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 poblano chile large
- 1 Spanish onion halved and sliced, large
- 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips, large
- 1 cup chorizo preferably Mexican, peeled and diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup half-and-half
- Queso fresca optional
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with 2 of the garlic cloves, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with about ½ tablespoon of the oil. Grill the chicken breasts or bake them in a roasting pan, uncovered at 350°F for 20 minutes or until cooked. Alternatively, mark the chicken breasts on a grill or grill pan (to get grill marks) and then finish them in the oven until they are cooked through.
- Meanwhile, take the poblano chile and either grill it, broil it, or hold it with tongs over a gas flame to char the skin. When the skin has charred, remove it from the heat source and place it in a plastic bag for a few minutes to steam (this will make it easier to peel). Peel the poblano, remove the seeds, and slice into thin strips.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onion, chorizo, and the remaining minced garlic clove. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions and peppers are soft. Add the sour cream, half-and-half, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly onto four serving dishes and top each with a chicken breast. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresca over the top, if desired.
