Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, onion, poblano peppers, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add sauce: Stir in beer, buffalo sauce, and salsa verde. Simmer for 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
