Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler. Toss poblano peppers in 1 tbsp olive oil and place them on a sheet pan.
- Broil for 5–7 minutes per side until the skin is blistered and blackened.
- Immediately place hot peppers in a sealed plastic bag or covered bowl for 10 minutes to steam the skins.
- Peel away the charred skin, slice open the peppers, and remove all seeds and veins.
- Place the roasted poblanos, Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic, cumin, and salt in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sear diced chicken thighs until cooked through.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, create layers of corn tortilla strips, seared chicken, frozen corn, and black beans.
- Pour the velvety poblano cream sauce evenly over the layers.
- Top with shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake 35 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
