Step 1

Preheat the broiler to high

Step 2

Place the tomatillos in a large skillet and transfer to the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking until the tomatillos begin to char all over.

Step 3

Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 400ºF

Step 4

Transfer the tomatillos to a blender. Add the diced green chiles, garlic, tsp chili powder, tsp cumin, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Pulse until just combined and a sauce forms

Step 5

Slice the chicken through the middle horizontally to within a 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two slides and spread them out like an open book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to even thickness.

Step 6

Coat chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 7

Stuff the cheese inside and then close like a book over the filling.

Step 8

Place the chicken in the skillet. Add the poblano pepper and drizzle both lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Add the tomatillo sauce and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice or tortillas.
