Blue Corn Chilaquiles with Chicken and Green Chile-Tomatillo Sauce

 

 I’ve made vegetarian Chilaquiles for years, and it’s been one of my favorite dishes to serve up any time I want to have a fiesta. But this recipe is so good, I simply had to share it! Whether you eat it as a main dish or as a side, it is the perfect meal for any time of day. With simmering sauce, gooey cheese and fresh poached chicken, it is a meal that your family will clamor for time and again.
