THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...



The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.

Best Ever Chicken and Dumplings Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by AzWench

Number Of Ingredients 21

Dumplings:
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 eggs
1 ⁄2 cup buttermilk, or as much as needed to form a stiff batter
1 ⁄4 cup butter, melted
Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
8 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • To prepare Dumplings: Combine dry ingredients. Set aside. Combine eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Stir liquid ingredients into dry ingredients to form a stiff batter. Drop tablespoons into simmering stew. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. To prepare Sauce: In a Dutch oven, melt butter and heat oil over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Saute until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Continue to stir and cook for 2 minutes to coat the flour and remove the starchy taste. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Let sauce simmer until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Fold the reserved shredded chicken into the sauce and bring up to a simmer. Using 2 spoons, carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the hot mixture. The dumplings should cover the top of the sauce, but should not be touching or crowded. Let the dumplings poach for 20 minutes until they are firm and puffy.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken: Soaking the chicken in a brine solution before cooking helps tenderize the meat and adds flavor. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can experiment with different flavorings like herbs, spices, or citrus.
  • Using a meat thermometer: Cooking chicken to the proper internal temperature is essential for safety and quality. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Resting the chicken: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Experiment with different cooking methods: There are many ways to cook chicken, so don't be afraid to experiment with different methods. Some popular options include roasting, grilling, baking, frying, and poaching. Each method produces a unique flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken in a skillet or on a grill, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
