1. Slice one poblano pepper into thin strips. Roast the other pepper. If you have a gas stove, turn the burner on and keep the pepper over the flame until it chars – you want it black on all sides. If you don’t have a gas stove, turn your broiler on and roast the peppers on the top rack until they are blackened on all sides. Once the peppers are roasted, transfer them to a large plastic baggie or a bowl covered with plastic wrap and let them steam while you sear the chicken. Once they’ve sat for about 10 minutes, pull them out and peel the skin off. Take out the membranes and seeds as well.
2. While the peppers steam. Add two tablespoons olive oil or butter a large skillet over a medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepepr. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken. Sear until golden brown, flip and do the same on the other side. Take the chicken out and set aside. Don’t worry if the chicken is not cooked through, it will simmer in the sauce later to finish cooking.
3. Once the chicken is seared, remove from the pan, and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the pan. Add the onions and peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes until softened. Season lightly with salt . Add the garlic and cook another minute.
4. While the veggies cook, transfer the ROASTED poblano pepper to a blender along with cilantro, 1/4 tespoon salt, and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Blend until smooth. Pour the pureed pepper back into the pot with the sliced peppers, onions, and garlic, and then stir in the remaining chicken stock, cream, lime juice, honey, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the chcken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. It should read 165 degrees on an instant read thermomter. If needed, add a little bit more chicken stock to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over rice pilaf, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

1. READ DIRECTIONS ALL THE WAY THROUGH
2. Preheat oven to 45oF
3. Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange them on the sheet pan. Add the sliced onions to sheet pan, along with the whole garlic cloves, halved jalapeños and whole poblano peppers, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to use two sheet pans. (You can also char the peppers on a gas burner, see notes) Drizzle all with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on the middle rack and check after 15 minutes. (If your oven runs hot, you could turn it down to 425 if needed.) If the peppers are tender remove them (pasilla peppers will cook much faster than poblanos- please see notes) and check the garlic, removing it if tender. Otherwise continue roasting with the tomatoes and onions another 15-20 minutes, until peppers and onions are tender and tomatoes are juicy.
4. Mix the canned beans (drained, rinsed) with the cheese. OR If going vegan, mix the beans with 1 cup of vegan herbed tofu ricotta. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. If using plain black beans, add a teaspoon of cumin and chili powder.
