1
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano and serrano chiles onto the prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.
2
Broil until the skin of the chiles has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened chiles into a resealable plastic bag. Let peppers steam and cool while you prepare the chicken.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until golden and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the greased baking dish.
5
Peel skin off the chiles and discard. Place chiles in a blender with sour cream, water, bouillon, and garlic. Blend very well. Pour the poblano cream over the chicken in the dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce thickens, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
