How to Make Lime Chicken With Poblano Sour Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice (1/4 cup), olive oil (2 tablespoons), chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
  3. Add the chicken breasts (1.5 lbs) to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly.
  4. Place the chicken in a baking dish.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  6. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the poblano sour cream sauce:
  7. In a medium saucepan, sauté the diced poblano pepper (1 medium) in olive oil (1 tablespoon) over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
  8. Stir in the sour cream (1 cup), lime zest (1 tablespoon), and cilantro (2 tablespoons), and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Once the chicken is cooked, serve immediately topped with the poblano sour cream sauce and a side of sautéed squash.
