To roast the poblanos, place the peppers directly onto the open flame of a gas stove. Turn with tongs frequently until the skin is wrinkled and somewhat charred, about 5 minutes.

Lay the open poblano on a cutting board and cut into strips and then cut strips in half.

Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. of Grated Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese from V&V SUPREMO® onto the pan in the shape of the cutlet. Place 4 strips of poblano on top of the cheese.
4

Carefully place a chicken cutlet on top of the cheese and pepper strips, and press down with a spatula. Cook approximately 2 minutes. (Or until cheese is golden brown.)
5

While the chicken cooks, sprinkle 2 more Tbsp. of Grated Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese from V&V SUPREMO® on top of the chicken.
6

Once the first side is golden brown, carefully flip the chicken using a spatula. Cook approximately 2 more minutes (Or until cheese is golden brown and chicken is fully cooked) and set aside.
7

Wipe the skillet with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
