Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken breasts boneless & skinless
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion (white or yellow) thinly sliced

  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz. Monterey jack cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Cut chicken breasts into 1in. wide strips. Season them well with salt and pepper.

  • In a blender, combine sour cream, milk, 3 reserved poblano peppers, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour sour cream mixture over chicken and gently mix until fully combined and all chicken pieces are covered.
  • Top with monterey jack cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbling and cheese is slightly browned.
