Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup salsa verde

  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese

  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, avocado slices, lime wedges

Instructions

  • Prep the chicken:
    Pat chicken dry and rub with olive oil. Season both sides with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Grill:
    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  • Top with salsa & cheese:
    During the last 2 minutes of grilling, spoon salsa verde over each piece of chicken and top with a slice of pepper jack. Close grill lid to melt cheese.

  • Serve:
    Remove from grill and garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade salsa verde—either works great!

  • Try it on a bun for a spicy grilled chicken sandwich.

  • Goes well with rice, grilled veggies, or inside tacos.
