Chicken Chilaquiles

Recipe from StrongerTogether.coop.

While traditionally served for breakfast, this hearty version of chilaquiles with chicken makes a quick weeknight main dish, too. Salad greens tossed with crisp radish slices and quick-pickled red onions are a tasty side.

Cook Time

Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

16 ounces tomatillo salsa
1 cup onion, white (diced)
1 pepper, jalapeño (seeded and chopped)
3 pepper, poblano (seeded and diced)
1⁄2 bunch cilantro (chopped)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound chicken tenders
  tortilla chips
1 1⁄2 cups queso fresco (crumbled)
1 1⁄2 cups avocado (diced (optional))
1⁄2 cup cilantro (chopped (optional))
1⁄2 cup radish (sliced (optional))
1 lime (cut into wedges (optional))

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, blend together the salsa, onion, peppers, cilantro, garlic and salt. Pour the blended sauce into a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken tenders and cook for 8 minutes, turning tenders halfway through the cooking time, until chicken is cooked.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet, pour half of the chicken and sauce on top and add half of the queso fresco. Add a second layer of tortilla chips, chicken and sauce, and top with the remaining queso fresco and your choice of optional toppings. Serve immediately.
