El Pollo Ronaldo!

El Pollo Ronaldo!

This is a great healthy dish that can be adjusted to make as many portions, or even as small as one!
Also can be made vegan by using olive oil and sautéed vegetables or chicken substitute! I like to use veggie burger patties for this one!

Chicken Breasts, or veggie patties, or vegetable, or chicken substitute
1 onion sliced, (1 slice per chicken breast)
Green chili, 1 per breast or other roasted pepper (Poblano works nicely too!)
1 or more cans of diced tomatoes
1t Crushed garlic, more to taste or if using more cans of tomatoes!
3T Olive Oil or Butter
Provalone cheese for the top or other vegan type cheese

Saute Chicken breasts (or what ever you have chosen for the protein) in a oven proof skillet, 1 per person in olive oil or butter until browned.
Add onion and brown onion on bottom of pan. place onion on top of chicken or whatever you are using as a main course. Place Peeled whole chili pepper on top of onion, then cheese on top of that. 
Pour tomates all around dish. Add garlic and stir. Finish off dish on hot oven around 400 degrees, until tomatoes are caramelized. This dish has very little prep work and finishes off in the oven. Make sure your chicken breasts read the proper temp on meat thermometer!
Happy Cooking! PS we like to add Brown rice, or quinoa, or other healthy high protein, high fiber grain!
This beautiful serving set is perfect to serve this colorful dish!
