Provided by Mely Martínez

Categories     Chicken     Salsas

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Lb. of chicken breast cut into 4 (4 oz. pieces)
Salt & pepper to season the chicken
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
3 Large Poblano peppers or 4 Small
3 Slices of white onion (about ½ of a small onion)
1 Large garlic clove (peeled)
1 Cup of heavy cream
¾ Cup milk 2% or whole
1 Tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
1 Tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper to taste.
½ cup of corn kernels optional (I used the ones that sell frozen and thawed them)

Steps:

  • Turn on your oven-broiler to the high setting in preparation to roast the peppers, onion, and garlic. As I mentioned in my notes, you do not need to use your oven to roast the peppers and the other ingredients if you have a gas stove, you can even roast them over a regular griddle. If you use this oven version, take advantage and also use the hot oven to warm other foods.
  • Place the poblano peppers, onion slices, and garlic clove on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil, roast for about 2 minutes per side. Remove garlic promptly since it will be ready quickly.
  • Remove from oven and lightly wrap with the aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
  • Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large frying pan, once it is hot add the chicken breast to cook about 3-4 minutes per side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken cutlets. Do not overcook, since they will keep cooking with the Poblano salsa. Remove from the frying pan, place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Clean peppers removing the charred skins, open the peppers by making a slit from top to bottom and remove the seeds and veins. Reserve one half of one pepper and cut into small strips.
  • Place the rest of the peppers, white onion, garlic, heavy cream, milk, and chicken bouillon in your blender. Process until you have a beautiful creamy sauce.
  • Melt butter in the same frying pan, and pour the sauce. Gently simmer on a medium heat, allow cooking for 5 minutes, adding the chicken, and keep cooking for another 5-6 minutes. Keep the heat low to avoid the creamy sauce from curdling.

POBLANO AND PEPPER JACK-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ANCHO CHILE CREAM SAUCE



Poblano and Pepper Jack-Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Ancho Chile Cream Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small to medium fresh poblano peppers
Two 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Two 2 ounce slices pepper jack cheese
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Cajun spice, such as Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic Spice
1/2 tablespoon ancho chile powder

Steps:

  • For the poblano and pepper jack-stuffed chicken breasts: Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame until completely charred, transfer to a plastic bag and seal for 10 minutes. Peel the charred skin, remove all the seeds and cut each pepper in half.
  • Meanwhile, put chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, heat, then add the chicken and cook until the first side is golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden-brown, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the ancho chile cream sauce: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and cook until reduced by 1/3. Add the Cajun spice and ancho chile powder and simmer for another minute or so. Keep warm.
  • When the chicken is done, cut each piece into 2 equal halves. Lay one piece in the centers of 2 dinner plates and top each with 2 poblano halves, 1 piece of pepper jack, and another piece of chicken. Pour half of the Ancho Chile Cream Sauce over the tops and serve immediately.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN POBLANO SAUCE

An easy tasty main. Chicken breasts baked in a creamy poblano sauce topped with melted Monterrey jack cheese.

Categories     Mexican     Main Dish     Cheese     Tex-Mex     Meats     Poultry     Chicken breast

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

butter
poblano peppers
onions
chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
salt and black pepper
sour cream
milk
monterey jack cheese
butter
poblano peppers
onions
chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
salt and black pepper
sour cream
milk
monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, rinse and dry the chicken breasts with paper toweling. Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper. When the skillet is hot add the chicken breasts and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Ideally you will develop a fond in the pan (brown bits) that will help flavor the sauce. Remove the chicken breasts and arrange in a baking dish in a single layer. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for a few minutes. Season with a bit of salt. Add the poblano peppers and cook for about 10 minutes until both the onions and poblano are softened. Remove from heat and transfer to a blender along with the sour cream and milk. You may wish to use less milk for a thicker sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is cooked through.

Cilantro-Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Poblano Chile Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Herb     Poultry     Broil     Hot Pepper     Summer     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 small skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total)
2 cups poblano chile sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler and lightly brush a shallow baking pan with some oil. Finely chop garlic and in a small bowl stir together with cilantro and salt. Pat chicken dry and trim any fat.
  • To form a pocket in chicken for cilantro filling: Put a chicken breast half on a cutting board and, beginning in middle of 1 side of breast half, horizontally insert a sharp thin knife three fourths of the way through center, moving knife in a fanning motion to create a pocket. (Opening will only be about 1 inch wide.) Make pockets in remaining chicken breast halves in same manner. Put about 1/2 tablespoon filling into each pocket and with finger spread evenly. Transfer chicken to baking pan and brush with remaining oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat 7 minutes. Turn chicken over and broil until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve chicken with sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the heat.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a longer period of time, stirring occasionally.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the sauce, roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler before removing the skins and seeds.
  • For a creamier sauce, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the sauce just before serving.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with a side of rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This poblano sauce is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor to your chicken breasts. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, this recipe is sure to please. The poblano peppers give the sauce a slightly smoky and spicy flavor, while the addition of cream cheese and sour cream makes it rich and creamy. Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides and enjoy!
