Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons Canola or Vegetable Oil
2 pound trimmed Pork Butt (, cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 large Red Onion (, peeled and finely chopped)
3 large Garlic Cloves (, peeled and diced)
6 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
1 pound Red New Potatoes (, scrubbed (do not peel) and cut into ¾-inch pieces)
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
3 7- ounce cans diced Mild Green Chiles (, drained Note: if liking some spicy heat, substitute one of the cans for Hot Green Chilies*)
Garnish: chopped red pepper (, torn cilantro leaves)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high temperature. When the top of the oil is shimmering, add half of the pork. Allow it to sit in the hot pan to develop a sear before stirring; allow to brown. Remove from pan to a plate. Repeat for the second half of the pork.
  • Add the onions to the pan and sauté until softened (2-3 minutes). Add the garlic and stir together.
  • Return the meat (and any accumulated juices on the plate) to the pan along with the chicken stock, potatoes, salt and green chilies. Bring to a boil, reduce temperature to allow stew to simmer. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • Serve garnished with torn cilantro leaves, diced red pepper and a bit of grated cheese if desired.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN STEW



Green Chile Chicken Stew image

Many agree the best green chiles are grown in the Hatch Valley in southern New Mexico, so it's great to make this delicious chicken stew in early fall when they're are available. (Get a friend to send you some, or order them online.) But you can also make it throughout the year using frozen or canned green chiles. Though pork, beef or lamb are more traditional for green chile stew, this chicken version is a bit lighter, quicker to cook and still packs a punch. It's not a dish for the faint of heart.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, legs, or a cut-up whole chicken (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or lard
Flour, for dredging
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 cup chopped roasted New Mexico green chile, fresh or frozen and thawed
3 cups chicken stock or water
2 large potatoes, peeled, cut in 1-inch cubes
3 large carrots, peeled, cut in 2-inch slices
3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Warm flour or corn tortillas, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Brown chicken well on both sides, then remove and set aside.
  • Add onions to pot, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Then add chopped chiles and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Return chicken to pot; reduce heat to a brisk simmer, and cook, covered with lid ajar, for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots and cook for 20 to 25 minutes more, until vegetables are soft but not falling apart.
  • Skim fat from surface of sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt. For a thicker sauce, add dissolved cornstarch and stir well. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Serve in deep wide soup plates with plenty of sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • To make the stew spicier, use hotter green chiles, such as serranos or jalapeños. You can also add a teaspoon or two of ground cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have any green chiles, you can use a can of diced green chiles. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the stew.
  • For a vegetarian version of the stew, omit the chicken and add an extra cup of vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or corn.
  • Serve the stew with warm tortillas, rice, or bread.
