Stuffed poblano peppers use simple ingredients and take just 25 minutes! This cheesy chicken stuffed poblano peppers recipe is full of Mexican flavors.

PREPRATION TIME:
PREP: 5 minutes
COOK: 20 minutes
TOTAL: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
3 large Poblano peppers
1 tbsp Unsalted butter
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 cups Shredded chicken
1 14.5-oz can Diced tomatoes (NOT drained)
2 tbsp Taco seasoning
3 oz Cream cheese (cubed)
3/4 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
Cilantro (optional, for topping)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place them onto a lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes (with liquid), and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the extra liquid is absorbed into the chicken.
  Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese, pressing with the back of a spoon or spatula to help it mix in, until melted and smooth.
• Stuff the filling into the poblano peppers and place, open side up, back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each pepper half, about 2 tablespoons (28 grams) each.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until peppers are soft and cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
