If you guys are sick of average chicken dinner after average chicken dinner, let me introduce you to our new best friend: Creamy Poblano Chicken with Cilantro Rice Pilaf. We sear chicken breasts in a little bit of butter, then simmer them in a ridiculously delicious poblano cream sauce studded with caramelized onions and sliced poblano peppers. The dish is perfect on its own, but to make sure we get every last drop of that poblano cream sauce, we serve the chicken on top of an easy rice pilaf sure to become a new staple in your side dish repertoire.
