Serve immediately with fresh guacamole, rice, and pico de gallo. Tips for Success
Official Mi Cocina history is a little quiet on how the dish got its name, but longtime fans and customer reviews tell us what matters: Ernie’s Chicken has been a menu staple for years, consistently praised for its tender, marinated chicken breast and its luxurious creamy sauce. In fact, one early review from 2009 already described the plate as “a hot plate filled with marinated grilled chicken breast topped with queso and crema, served with guacamole, rice, and pico de gallo.” Early‑2000s Dallas diners were raving about it then, and they haven’t stopped since. The dish appears on Mi Cocina’s menus today as a signature entrée that customers actively seek out, often mentioned in reviews as “a must‑stop on trips to Dallas.” ernies chicken recipe mi cocina
