  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 45 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
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Grilled Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the salsa verde, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
3. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
4. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
5. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Add Cheese: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese generously over each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
7. Remove from Grill: Once the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted, remove the chicken from the grill. Let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
