One-Skillet Salsa Verde (Green Salsa) Chicken

This one-skillet salsa verde chicken only takes 30 minutes to make.

Sometimes one-skillet meals are the way to go because they’re quick, easy and there’s one less pan to wash is an added bonus.

In this recipe, green salsa is used as a sauce for the chicken which gives the dish a delicious tangy and light spicy flavor.

About this Recipe

And the ingredients in this dish can easily be changed up by substituting other types of Mexican salsa for the green salsa if preferred.

To the salsa, plain yogurt is added which makes the sauce for the chicken creamy and rich.

About Serving

I especially like serving this chicken dish over rice because the sauce makes its way into the rice and it tastes so good together.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, salsa verde (green salsa), canned corn, plain yogurt, avocado, and shredded Monterey jack cheese and warm white cooked rice (for serving)

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Set 1/4 cup yogurt out on the counter while making the chicken (so that the yogurt is at room temperature just before it’s added to the recipe).

For the Chicken:

Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.

Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat and add the chicken.

To the pan, add granulated garlic,

…onion powder,

…salt and pepper.

Stir together so that the pieces of chicken are coated with the spices.

Continue to stir as the chicken cooks.

When the chicken is thoroughly cooked (about 7 minutes or more depending on the size of the pieces) add the corn, green salsa and stir.

Turn the heat down to low and slowly add the yogurt (that’s at room temperature) stirring constantly.  This should prevent the yogurt from separating into small pieces of curds and whey.

To the pan, stir in a little water or chicken broth until reaching the desired thickness.

Serve warm by itself or over warm white or brown rice.

Top with shredded Monterey jack cheese, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of pepper.

Then enjoy.
