SALSA VERDE CHICKEN WITH GREEN CHILES

Salsa Verde Chicken is such an easy and juicy way to prepare chicken in just 30 minutes with just 5 ingredients in one pan.

Salsa Verde Chicken with green chiles and sweet maple syrup is one of the easiest meals you will ever make. All you have to do is combine all the ingredients and bake. For better results, if you have time, I recommend marinating the chicken for a few hours, it will make it even more tender and juicier. I love the flavors in this Salsa Verde Chicken and that it requires only 5 ingredients. It also takes 5 minutes to put it together, no chopping, peeling or whatsoever involved. The sauce in which the chicken bakes is delicious, make sure you pour some over it right before serving.

Tips and Tricks to make the perfect One Pan Salsa Verde Chicken :

• I like making this dish with chicken thighs, but it works great with chicken breasts as well.
• For the best flavors, its better to marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
• For extra flavor you can add minced garlic.
• For a spicier kick, add 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes.
• Maple syrup can be replaced with honey.
• Serve the chicken garnished with parsley zest with rice and broccoli on the side.
