Chicken in Poblano Cream Sauce Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Breast Recipes. (Chicken in Poblano Cream Sauce Recipe). Poblano chiles are one of my favorite chiles to cook with. When roasted, they give a strong earthy taste to your food. So of course I had to add this recipe to my collection. With the spicy, creamy flavor, this poblano chicken is absolutely one of my favorites. If you have a gas stove, just roast the chiles over open flame, rotating occasionally until charred on all sides.
