1½–2 pounds chicken cutlets
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese or hot queso dip
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Cook spiced sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

- Combine cooked chicken, sausage, peppers, and onions in one skillet.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese or dollops of queso dip over top; cover until cheese melts.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
Notes
Use queso dip for creamier texture or shredded cheese for gooier melt.
Swap chicken cutlets for thighs for juicier meat.
Add extra spices or hot sauce for more heat.
Serve over rice, in tortillas for tacos, or with crusty bread.
Add jalapeños or corn for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently.
