How To Make chicken poblanochilada

  • Step 1
    Cook chicken and dice. I used leftover chicken I had baked. Place in a mixing bowl. Add about 1 c of your favorite Mexican cheese. Add onion and 1 c of cottage cheese (drain excess juice from cottage cheese). Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 2
    Make a V shaped slit in poblano pepper, remove, and remove seeds and stem.
  • Step 3
    Place chicken mixture in pepper and pat down.
  • Step 4
    Place in a greased baking pan and top with extra cheese. Bake about 1 hr at 350°. Garnish with salsa, pico de gallo or your favorite Mexican toppings.
