Rajas Poblanas

 I was trying to re-create a recipe I had a vive sol.  This isn't quite the same as theirs but was still quite good.  The problem is it still seems kind of one-note and too rich.

- Roasted 8 poblanos under the broiler for 5-ish min per side, let sit in plastic bag for 20 min, then removed skin.

- Blended 1 of them with 1/2 C yogurt, cut the rest into strips.

- Cut 2 chicken breasts into thin fajita style strips.

- Took 2 white onion quarters and cut into strips.  Let brown in 1 Tbsp oil + 1 Tbsp butter for 5 min.  Added to minced cloves garlic.

- Added chicken breasts and cooked until almost done.

- Added sauce + 1 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp oregano and cooked covered for 3-5 min until chicken fully done.

- Added 1 - 2 Cups melting cheese.  We used queso Oaxaca which is a soft mild white cheese like mozzeralla.

Served with tortillas and black beans.
