Peter Piper may have picked a peck of pickled peppers, but if Peter procured these fabulous fajita-flavored fancies, he would have left that bubbling brine far behind. In fact, with the taco-seasoned chicken and classic pico de gallo as innards, these peppers would sell faster than any seashells sold by the seashore by someone named Sally. Now, read this description aloud five times fast…

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 24 oz. diced chicken, follow same instructions as 12 oz. diced chicken, working in batches if necessary.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as diced chicken in Step 2, breaking up beef until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as diced chicken in Step 2, breaking up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Roast Peppers and Prepare Ingredients

    Stem poblano peppers, halve lengthwise, and remove seeds and ribs. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Place peppers on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into peppers. Place cut side up and roast in hot oven until tender, 10-12 minutes.

    While peppers roast, halve lime. Juice one half and cut other half into wedges.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Mince cilantro (no need to stem).

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Pat diced chicken breasts dry. Coarsely chop.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and stir often until starting to brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Set aside 2 Tbsp. onion. Add remaining onion to pan and stir often until onion softens, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in 1/4 cup water, seasoning blend, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Then stir occasionally until water is almost evaporated and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  3. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    Combine tomatoes, reserved onion, cilantro (reserve a pinch for garnish), 2 tsp. lime juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for flavors to marry.

  4. 4

    Assemble and Roast the Peppers

    Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Divide filling equally among roasted poblanos. Top with cheese. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Roast again in hot oven until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing peppers with pico de gallo, sour cream, and reserved cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
