Easy Green Chile Chicken

PRINT RECIPE

I needed a quick dinner that was hearty and satisfying, which got me thinking about my favorite breakfast burrito-filled with chile verde (a slow cooked pork stewed in a tomatillo sauce), potatoes and cheese.  Yummers!!!

So with the help of a couple of cooked chicken breast in my fridge, a few potatoes and a can of Las Palamas Green Chile Enchilada Sauce.  I was on my way to making a deliciously fast 20 min. meal.

I love the convenience and full flavor of Las Palamas Green Chile Enchilada Sauce for a quick and easy dinner. All that is needed is a few basic ingredients and you have a wonderful Mexican flavored meal in minutes. I also like the lighter flavor of the tomatillos versus the red chiles that can be a bit more heavy in flavor.
