Chicken generously seasoned and seared and then simmered in a creamy, smokey green sauce with just the right amount of tangy and heat.
Season your chicken generously on both sides with garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper and drizzle with olive oil
Place a large skillet or braised over medium to medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and about a tablespoon of olive oil
Once the skillet is warm, cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on both sides until it is golden brown and cooked through and then transfer onto a plate and set aside for now
Add 1/4 cup of chicken stock and use a wooden spoon or stiff spatula to work up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet
Add 2 cups of salsa verde, 1/2 cup of sour cream and 2 tablespoons of pickled jalapeños, mix to combine and bring to a simmer
Transfer the chicken back into the skillet, spoon some sauce over each piece and top with shredded mozzarella
Serve over rice garnished with fresh cilantro
