GREEN CHILE CHICKEN STEW



Green Chile Chicken Stew image

This stew will keep you warm and cozy on those cold winter days!! I got this recipe together after months of harassing my friends in New Mexico in search of the perfect green chile chicken stew. I make it at least once every month (I myself use a pressure cooker). Serve with warm flour tortillas. This recipe has a lot of chile peppers. Be sure to tone it down if you can't handle heat!

1 (4 pound) whole chicken

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 (4 ounce) can canned green chile peppers, chopped
4 habanero peppers, seeded and minced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 carrots, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large pot over medium heat and add water to cover. Add the cumin, thyme, marjoram and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 2 1/2 hours (or pressure cook for 45 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool. Discard the bones and the skin and chop the chicken meat into bite-size pieces.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 10)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons safflower oil
3 poblano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, chopped (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 large onion, chopped (about 3 cups)
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon lightly packed finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cans (15.5 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
Lime wedges, for serving
Cilantro sprigs, for serving
Salsa fresca (from Salsa Fresca Salad), for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken, skin-side down. Cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Carefully remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot; reduce heat to medium. Add chiles, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping browned bits from bottom of pot, until onion is softened and golden in spots, about 5 minutes. Add oregano and chili powder. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Return chicken with accumulated juices to pot, along with broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thighs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, mash half of beans to a paste in a bowl with a potato masher. Stir mashed beans into pot with remaining whole beans. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove and discard chicken skins and bones. Pull meat into bite-size shreds and stir into stew. Simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro sprigs, and salsa fresca.

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.

CHICKEN AND PEPPER STEW



Chicken and Pepper Stew image

This is an adaptation of a classic French bistro dish, poulet Basquaise. The chicken is cooked in a pipérade of onion, garlic, hot and sweet peppers, tomatoes and, in the authentic version, cured ham, which I've omitted. In this version I use skinned chicken pieces. Serve with noodles, rice or other grains.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 8 chicken legs and/or thighs, skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced across the grain
2 mildly hot chilies, like Anaheim or New Mexico chilies, cored, seeded and cut in very thin strips, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional)
3 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds (4 large) mixed green and red bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice, pulsed in a food processor
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken pieces, in batches, on each side for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate. Pour off the fat from the pan and discard.
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Add the olive oil and the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, until the onions begin to soften. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the hot and sweet peppers, a bit of salt and the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sugar and stir together until the tomatoes begin to bubble and smell fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring at regular intervals and turning the chicken pieces over so that the ingredients don't scorch and the chicken cooks evenly. The peppers should be very soft and the chicken quite tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust the salt, and serve with rice, other grains of your choice or noodles.

CHICKEN & CHILE PEPPER STEW



Chicken & Chile Pepper Stew image

A shredded chicken and potato stew in a spicy, velvety chile pepper sauce prepared with cheese, garlic, and nuts with an extra zing from the orange juice and lime juice. Great for cold, winter days. The recipe originally came from a cookbook that I picked up at the library. I can't remember the name of the book, but from what I remember the chef traveled extensively in South America, trying traditional dishes and then created his own modern, upscale versions for his restaurant, keeping the best elements from the traditional versions. I also made some minor changes to better suit my family's tastes. Update: I have changed the name of this recipe from Ají De Gallina (Peruvian Chicken & Chile Pepper Stew) which was the name given to the original recipe that I adapted here, because people kept posting negative ratings that seemed based exclusively (or nearly so) on this dish's lack of authenticity rather than on the quality of the dish, even after I posted in the intro that the dish was indeed not traditional. I hope under the new name people will be more willing to enjoy it for what it is, rather than getting so wrapped up in where the recipe comes from. Cheers.
