These Cheesy Chicken Poblano Panecillos appetizer are so delicious! Biscuits stuffed with chicken, poblano peppers, onions, monterey jack cheese and served with salsa verde. Excellent!
I created this appetizer last year and it truly became a hit with my family, friends and a few of you also let me know your thoughts on it. Today, I thought I would repost it for any fowl or beef you may have tonight before those hands strike midnight! If you have any leftover chicken, turkey or beef, make this recipe tomorrow for lunch or as a starter to your New Years Day Dinner.
I created this appetizer, “Cheesy Chicken Poblano Panecillos” on the whim the other day and added a Mexican twist.
I made it with simple ingredients I had on hand. I used leftover chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, poblano peppers, biscuits, onions and cilantro. And of course I combined these panecillos (little breads) with my delicious salsa verde!
It’s one thing to come up with and create a great appetizer but when everyone in your family loves it and you leave them asking, “When are you going to make these again?” That’s when you know you have a winner appetizer 🙂
Love being the cooking hero all the time!
These delicious Cheesy Chicken Poblano Panecillos will have your family and friends asking you the same thing!
The key ingredient that really helps transcend this mexican appetizer is the poblano pepper.
Poblano peppers are a common stable in Mexican Cuisine used in many dishes and are deliciously mild and full of incredible flavor. If you don’t use these very often, you may soon start to replace your ordinary bell pepper in your Sunday omelette with the poblano pepper.

And don’t forget the Salsa Verde (Green Sauce). I will urge you not to skip out on making the salsa for these biscuits, the combination is fantastic.
