CJ brings the heat with his Chicken Poblano Quesadillas! Every bite is packed with flavor, from the seasoned chicken cutlets to the blend of roasted poblanos, garlic, and avocado. Topped with a drizzle of homemade sauce, this might be his best quesadilla yet!
Ingredients
Large tortillas
1 pack chicken cutlets
Shredded Mexican-style melting cheese
1 small can Hatch diced green chiles
3-4 poblanos
4-5 tomatillos
2 jalapeños
2 serrano peppers
2-3 chile de árbol
½ white onion
1 lime
3-4 garlic cloves
Kosher salt
Coarse black pepper
Blackstone Hatch Chile and Cheddar Seasoning
Directions
1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat, setting up two cooking zones.
2. While the griddle is heating, season the chicken cutlets with olive oil, Blackstone Hatch Chile and Cheddar Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook on the griddle until fully done. Remove and cut the chicken into small pieces.
3. Add a little olive oil to the griddle. Place the poblanos, jalapeños, serranos, tomatillos, garlic, onion, and chile de árbol on the griddle. Toss in the oil and cook until the peppers are nicely charred. Remove the garlic and chile de árbol earlier to prevent burning.
4. Once the poblanos are charred, remove them, slice off the tops, halve them, and remove the pith and seeds. Chop into medium-sized pieces, keeping one poblano aside. Add the remaining poblanos back to the griddle along with a handful of Monterey Jack cheese (either shredded or in small cubes).
5. In a blender, combine the charred veggies, a pinch of salt and pepper, the can of Hatch green chiles, one avocado, and the juice of a lime. Blend until smooth. If the salsa is too thick, add a little water and blend again. Set aside.
6. When the cheese on the griddle starts to melt and form a nice cheese skirt with the poblanos, flip as needed to avoid burning.
7. To assemble the quesadillas, place tortillas on the griddle. Sprinkle Mexican melting cheese on one half of each tortilla. Add some diced chicken, a portion of the cheesy charred poblanos, and a drizzle of salsa verde. Fold the tortilla over to toast and melt the cheese. Once done, remove from the griddle.
8. Slice the quesadillas, plate them with a small bowl of salsa verde, and enjoy!
