Creating Grilled Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Chicken is a breeze. Follow these clear steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the salsa verde, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to reach a steady temperature.

3. Prepare the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade. Let any excess marinade drip off.

4. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Add the Cheese: During the last few minutes of grilling, sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese over the chicken. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt.

6. Remove and Rest: Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

7. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.

8. Cut and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter.
