Prepare the Green Chilies
If using fresh green chilies, roast them over an open flame until the skin is charred. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes, then peel the skin off, remove the seeds, and chop them. If using canned green chilies, simply drain and chop.

Sear the Chicken

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
