Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Chicken Salad See recipe
  • 5 Poblano Peppers
  • 1 cup Salsa Verde
  • 2.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Set broiler on high.

  2. Cut poblano peppers in half, seed and place skin side up on a baking sheet.

  3. Broil poblano peppers for about 5 minutes. The skin should look charred and bubbly.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  5. Let the peppers cool and then remove the skins.

  6. Mix pecans and 1 cup of cheese into the chicken salad base.

  7. In the casserole dish, spray with non-stick oil and layer the peppers in the bottom. (or you can cut in strips and layer or add into the chicken salad itself.)

  8. Layer chicken salad mix on top of the peppers. (Or you could mix poblano strips into the chicken salad.)

  9. Spread salsa verde over top of the chicken salad mix.

  10. Top with the remaining cheese.

  11. Bake for 30 minutes until cheese bubbly or longer if you wish the cheese to brown

Recipe Notes

  • You can swap out the pecans for almond or walnut pieces.
  • You can serve this over riced cauliflower.
