Best 4 Cheesy Chicken And Corn Stuffed Chiles Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN AND CORN STUFFED CHILES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut a long strip out of one side of each chile, keeping the stem and tip intact. Remove the seeds.
• 2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, corn, mozzarella and salsa. Divide the filling among the chiles; place on a baking sheet.
• 3. Roast until the chiles are tender and the filling is browned, about 25 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayo and 1 tsp. lime juice. Drizzle over the chiles. Sprinkle with the zest, paprika and cilantro.

CHICKEN STUFFED HATCH CHILES (CHILES RELLENOS DE POLLO)

Steps:

• Fire up a comal on the stovetop. Rinse the chiles and pierce each with a knife. Place them on the comal and let them roast evenly. You will have to keep an eye on them, making sure to turn them over until all sides are roasted. When done, the skins should be evenly blistered and mostly black.
• Place roasted chiles into a plastic bag and close the bag. Cover the plastic bag with a kitchen towel. The steam will help the blackened skin to separate. When cool, rub off the blackened skin, careful to keep the stem intact on the chiles.
• Using a small sharp knife, carefully slit chiles open along 1 side. Remove seeds, leaving stems attached. Set aside to fill later.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan heat oil over medium-high. Add corn; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add chili powder; cook and stir 1 minute.
• Add broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper.
• Spoon ¼ cup of the filling onto each chile pepper.
• In a small saucepan melt butter over medium. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add flour, stirring until smooth. Add half-and-half. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Coat a rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.
• Pour Cilantro Cream Sauce in the prepared baking dish. Arrange peppers, filling sides up, in sauce.
• Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until filling is heated through.

CHICKEN-CORN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, chopped jalapeno, green chiles and cumin and cook, stirring, until the cumin is toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, chicken and beans along with the liquid from one of the cans of beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, mash the chili until about half of the beans are broken up. Stir in the corn, cilantro and 1/2 cup cheese. Divide the chili among bowls and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the sliced jalapeno. Serve with sour cream and cornbread, if desired.

EASY CHEESY CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the oil, chopped cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet and arrange the green pepper, onion, and tomato over each. Roast until the largest piece is just cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from oven and immediately top with the cheese and serve as the cheese melts. Transfer the chicken to a platter or among plates and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
