Salsas

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat while the chicken is marinating.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the green chiles and shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 5

    Add Filling

    In the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a generous amount of the green chile and cheese mixture on top of each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Salsa Fresca

    Dice the tomatoes and onion. In a bowl, combine them with chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 7

    Prepare Tomatillo Salsa

    Boil the tomatillos and jalapeño in water until soft (about 10 minutes). Blend them together in a food processor with salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Once the chicken is grilled and the cheese is melted, remove from the grill. Serve the chicken breasts with salsa fresca and tomatillo salsa on the side.
