It's New Mexican Night!

There is nothing better than Mexican night, except maybe New Mexican night! With the help of Rick Bayless, I'm making green chicken chili tonight. A few months ago I discovered a New Mexico roasted green chili starter made by Frontera at Whole Foods. Bayless was inspired by an unforgettable bowl of green chili he had in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It has lots of wonderful fresh, roasted ingredients: Onions, tomatoes, green chiles, roasted peppers, lime juice, garlic and cilantro. I usually add ground chicken to the starter sauce, but tonight I'm using boneless chicken breasts (cubed). I also love to doctor it up with more fresh green onions, cilantro (LOVE!), jalapeno pepper, shredded cheese and a little low-fat sour cream.  Delish!

If only I was enjoying it in the warm Santa Fe sunshine, I'd be in heaven!
