How to Make Chicken Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Begin by rinsing all produce and patting dry. Line a baking pan with foil.

Slice poblano peppers in half and place cut side down on the foiled pan. Drizzle peppers with olive oil.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, then flip poblano peppers over on pan and set aside.

Dice tomatoes into 1/4″ pieces and place in a bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and seasonings.

Dice the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat and add diced chicken.

Cook for 7-8 minutes until no longer pink in the center and is golden brown on the outside.

Add chicken to the bowl with tomatoes and stir.

Fill each poblano pepper with chicken mixture and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

Remove from the oven when the cheese is melted through. Top with sour cream and green onions.
