Dutch Oven Chicken Salsa Verde

[sweet_magnolia]

I love the Simply Potatoes southwest style hash browns that my grocery sells near the milk and eggs. This was a recipe on the package. Very simple to fix and forget and then 40 minutes later all you have to do is add the salsa verde and cheese and WHAM...5 minutes later, dinner is done! I baked this in my 10" shallow DO with 7 coals on the bottom and about 17 or 18 on top. Chicken was very tender and juicy! This has a little kick to it, too...we ended up eating it with flour tortillas.

Here is the original recipe. I used Mrs. Dash Chipotle Seasoning.

1 package Simply Potatoes® Southwest Style Hash Browns
1 package (8 ounces) sour cream
1 package (about 1 pound) boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mesquite or chipotle seasoning
2/3 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese


Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 400° F. Spray 13x9 inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place Simply Potatoes and sour cream in baking dish; stir together. Spread Simply Potatoes evenly over bottom of baking dish. Rub both sides of each chicken thigh with mesquite or chipotle seasoning. Place on top of potatoes. Cover; bake 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

2. Uncover; top chicken with salsa verde. Sprinkle with cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve chicken and potatoes with avocado and green onions as a garnish.









I used more cheese than the recipe called for because I like cheese.









Thanks for looking!

Sometimes those recipes on the package are very nice. I love what you did with it. That would've been perfect for the kind of weather we've been having around my part of the country.

OMG, that looks awesome. Nice job. I agree, some of those "on the package" recipes are great. Thank you for sharing it.

I'll have to pass this on to my son and DIL. They buy those taters a half dozen or more at a time. Every weekend they fry these up with eggs and/or bacon. They'll love it. And someone gave them a nice CI DO too.

Yeah, I like cheese too, lots of it. And you delivered as usual.
