  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup salsa verde
– 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
– Lime wedges for serving (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Grilled Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Chicken:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high temperature. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Add Salsa Verde: In the last few minutes of grilling, spoon salsa verde generously over each chicken breast.
5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded pepper jack cheese on top of the salsa verde. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove from Grill: Once the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, carefully remove the chicken from the grill.
7. Garnish: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
8. Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll create a mouthwatering dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
