Mexican Green Chile Baked Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This mexican-inspired chicken recipe combines the best of american cooking with a delicious traditional mexican green chile sauce and cheese. Not only is it easy to prepare; it's also healthy: low-carb, low-fat, and low-calorieyet bursting with flavor. A recipe for homemade green chile sauce is given, but 3 1/2 cups/830 ml canned can be used instead. While the chicken breast in this dish is baked in the oven, most cooks in mexico do not use their ovens often. Oven-baked dishes are usually considered a special party or holiday fare. In fact, stove ovens are frequently used as storage space for pots and pans.
