Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts marinated in a zesty salsa verde and topped with melted pepper Jack cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 4 slices of pepper Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (to garnish)
  • Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the salsa verde, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover liquid. Grill the chicken, flipping once, for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through (reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
  5. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper Jack cheese on each chicken piece and close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt.
  6. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for the full time adds more flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of salt according to your preference.
  • Serve with rice or a side salad for a complete meal.
