Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken

jar salsa verde, divided

lime

garlic,

chili powder

cumin

chicken breasts

Monterey jack

jalapeño, thinly sliced

red onion, finely chopped

tbsp. cilantro

Lime wedges,

This was sooo good. I omitted the red onion (personal preference) and used Trader Joes Hatch Chile verde and pepper jack cheese as that is what i had on hand. Will definitely be making this again!

This was such a hit, I'm making it again tonight!

Made this recipe last night and it was very good. I used medium salsa verde and marinated the chicken great for about 8 hours. I also cut the breasts horizontally before marinating. The only thing I would do differently is remove the seeds from the jalapeño as it has plenty of flavor without the seeds.

FOR GARNISH: salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, diced avocado, etc...

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe pan or skillet set over medium-high heat. I use this 3-quart pan with a lid.

Season chicken pieces with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Add chicken pieces to the hot oil and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add remaining oil to the hot skillet and set over medium-high heat.

Stir in garlic and cook for 20 seconds.

Add rice and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute, or until rice is lightly toasted.

Add chicken broth and salsa; bring mixture to a simmer.

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until melted.

Stir in previously cooked chicken.

Remove from heat.

Tightly cover with foil or a lid.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Remove skillet from oven.

Set oven to BROIL.

Remove foil from skillet; stir the casserole, then sprinkle the top with remaining shredded cheese.

This Salsa Verde Chicken couldn&#039;t be easier to make -- throw everything into a pressure cooker and let it do the work! The result? Succulently tender chicken bathed in a deliciously seasoned salsa verde sauce with savory black beans, crisp corn, and melty Cheddar. Serve the chicken over rice with your favorite toppings -- we love sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lots of fresh lime!

Salsa Verde Chicken

(16 oz.) Salsa Verde ((Note 1))

1-1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs ((Note 2))

each: ground cumin, chili powder

each: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder

Fine sea salt & pepper

(15 oz.) black beans, (rinsed & drained)

(5 oz.) freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese ((Note 3))

Serve over Ready Rice

INSTANT POT: Pour the entire jar (2 cups) of salsa verde into the base of the Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. Nestle the chicken thighs right on top of the salsa verde in one even layer. Sprinkle seasonings evenly on top of the chicken thighs and salsa. Season to taste with salt and pepper-- I add 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, but add to taste. Cover the pressure cooker and seal. Place venting valve to &quot;sealed.&quot;

COOK: Select the &quot;manual&quot; or &quot;pressure cook&quot; function and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. (Keep in mind that pressure needs to build inside the pot, so the timer won&#39;t start counting down for a few minutes.) Once cook time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes (don&#39;t do anything or release the valve). Once 5 minutes is up, carefully hit the release button to let out the remaining pressure and steam. (Keep your hands and face away from the venting steam -- don&#39;t let it burn you!)

SHRED CHICKEN: Use tongs to pull the chicken out of the pressure cooker and onto a cutting board. Before shredding the chicken, add the frozen corn and drained black beans to the pot. Give everything a good stir and then cover to keep it all warm and thaw the corn. Back to the chicken: use two forks to shred it and discard any pieces of fat or gristle. Return the fully shredded chicken to the pot and gently stir it through. Turn the control to &quot;Saute&quot; to warm things through again for 1 minute. After that, turn it off and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let melt for a few minutes before gently stirring through. Don&#39;t stir too much or it will make the chicken stringy!

SERVE: Use tongs to remove the chicken onto prepared rice. Top bowls with lots of sour cream, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, and a diced ripe avocado as desired. Enjoy promptly!
