Named after a beloved regular or a menu deep cut (depending on which server you ask), Ernie’s Chicken is a succulent, flavor-packed chicken breast grilled to perfection and topped with a creamy, tangy poblano pepper sauce. It is not fried, not breaded, and not smothered in heavy red enchilada sauce. Instead, it is elegant, smoky, and surprisingly simple.
The recipe from the Mi Cocina restaurant chain is a legendary favorite featuring a marinated, grilled 9 oz chicken breast topped with either a Sour Cream Sauce or a Poblano Cream Sauce . While often associated with the restaurant, home-cooked versions frequently appear on social media platforms like TikTok .
