Queso Chicken
Queso is a Mexican cheese but it is also short for chili con queso which translates into chili with cheese. It is the creamy dip you see in most Mexican restaurants. you can make your own with Velveeta and Ro-tel tomatoes or add some chorizo for my favorite queso dip. But for this recipe I by a prepared queso from the grocery. I like to use a good quality queso like Leigh Oliver’s, that uses white American cheese and nothing artificial. You can find it in the refrigerated section at Whole Foods. Fresh Market also carries prepared queso in their refrigerated section. If you have some leftover, queso is great drizzled over Taco Chicken or Slow Cooker Beef Tacos.
