Recipe Share: Green Chili Chicken.

I made Green Chili Chicken tonight. It’s not a chili. But is chicken with green chilies. Anna ate hers with some orzo and I went solo with some rosemary rolls. Once again the recipe is courtesy of the great cooking, social networking site GroupRecipes.com. And Anna would like you to know that she had some 2 buck chuck from Trader Joe’s that was good. I think she’s going to have a headache in 5 minutes. The recipe gets a 5 out of 5.

Ingredients:
4 chicken breast halves
1 cup of chicken broth
2 tbsp. of chopped cilantro
4 oz. of chopped green chilies
1 cup of heavy cream
4 oz. of chredded monterey jack cheese
2 slices bacon
2 cloves of minced garlic

Directions:
1. First you want to preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Now take a skillet, you can now fry the bacon until crisp.
3. Drain on paper towel.
4. Now saute chicken in bacon fat turning only once, till brown.
5. Remove chicken, but you need to keep warm.
6. Then add the chicken broth and simmer until reduced to half (we didn’t do it long enough so our sauce wasn’t as thick as it should have been)
7. Now put chicken into an oven dish.
8. Now add the garlic, cilantro, undrained chilis and cream.
9. This needs to bake uncovered, until chicken is done approx. 30 minutes.
11. Take the chicken out and add the crumbled bacon and cheese to chicken and put in the microwave to melt.
12. Serve.

Sorry but the only picture we got was with it cooking. We inhaled it as soon as it came out of the oven. But basically the chicken was underneath that. And Anna poured the sauce over the orzo and cut up her chicken and put it on top.
