Instructions
- Cook your chicken breast (we grilled ours) or grab up some of your leftover cooked chicken. Chop it into small chunks and set aside in a large bowl for mixing.
- If using block cheese, shred that now and set aside.
- Preheat your grill, smoker, or oven to 350°
- Dice the onion and poblano, sauté them in butter over medium heat. Once they're softened, add the green chiles to the pan. Cook till onion is translucent (sort of see through) or however you prefer your onion to look.4 Tbsp butter, 1 large white onion, diced, 2 poblanos, diced, 4 oz diced green chiles

- Bake the casserole for 40 minutes, either in your oven, grill, or smoker. You'll want to give it a good 10 minutes to cool before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
Notes
*We grilled our chicken breast with lump charcoal to get that smoky flavor into it. We seasoned our chicken with Meat Church's Gospel seasoning, chili powder, and paprika.
