CREAMY HATCH CHILE AND MUSHROOM CHICKEN BREASTS



Creamy Hatch Chile and Mushroom Chicken Breasts image

I made this dish with Hatch chiles that I had in my freezer and some onions and mushrooms that needed to be used. I served it over a bed of cilantro-lime rice. I shredded my chicken breast and mixed it in with the rice. Hubby preferred his chicken breast whole. We're going through a stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus pandemic and this was a great meal to make with items that I already had.

¼ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon salt

CREAMY HATCH CHILE CHICKEN

Hatch chiles are in season for only 8 weeks a year, 10 weeks if the weather is extra warm. Our local markets roast and sell them in 25-lb boxes. We buy 50 lbs every year, package them, and freeze them. This flavorful recipe can be served in tortillas, over rice, or by itself.
