Method
Make the Aji Verde
- In a blender, combine fresh cilantro, jalapeños, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, garlic, fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend the mixture until smooth yet chunky.
Prepare the Chicken
- Slice the boneless skinless chicken breasts into thinner cutlets. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Make the Cilantro-Lime Rice
- In a saucepan, combine rice, chicken broth (or water), butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Assemble the Bowls
- Layer cilantro-lime rice in bowls, arrange sliced chicken on top, and drizzle with aji verde sauce.

Notes
For a creamier aji verde, blend longer. Let chicken rest after cooking for juicier servings.
