Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
½ cup chopped scallions
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
non-stick cooking spray
½ avocado
¼ cup plain non-fat Greek-style yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the broth and bring again to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir scallions and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice into the quinoa.
  • Mix paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken breasts to season completely.
  • Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Lay chicken breasts into the hot skillet, cover skillet with a lid, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Blend avocado, yogurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, and garlic powder in a food processor until smooth.
  • Spread quinoa onto a serving platter. Arrange chicken breasts onto the platter. Drizzle avocado cream sauce over the chicken breasts.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 16 flautas

Number Of Ingredients 18

Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat finely shredded
1 cup salsa
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup shredded Cheddar/Monterey jack blend
1 lime, juiced
Salt
16 (5 to 6-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
1 very ripe avocado, halved, pitted and flesh removed
1 (4-ounce) container sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach 2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reads 375 degrees F. To make the flautas: In a pan over medium heat melt butter and saute onions and jalapenos until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add chicken and salsa; stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, cheese and lime juice. Let cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Working with 4 tortillas at a time, spread a heaping spoonful along the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Using tongs, hold each flauta in hot oil until firm, then release to continue cooking. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt. Keep flautas warm in the oven on a sheet tray while assembling and cooking the remaining tortillas.
  • To make the Avocado Cream: In a serving bowl, mash avocado, sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
  • To serve, arrange flautas on a platter of shredded lettuce and serve with Avocado Cream on the side.

PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE



Peruvian Roasted Chicken Thighs with Creamy Avocado Sauce image

Rotisserie chicken, "pollo a la brasa" in Spanish, is hands-down one of the staple foods consumed in cities across Peru. Typically served with a simple side salad, French fries and the equally famous aji verde-a sauce made with Peruvian aji amarillo (yellow chile) and huacatay (a variety of black mint)-this dish is loved by those seeking a highly seasoned and very juicy chicken at affordable prices. The key to the recipe is in the marinade; restaurants in Peru keep their ingredients secret, but here I share my family recipe alongside an updated recipe for the aji verde. Roasting chicken thighs on a sheet pan makes it an easy dish to do at home. And since aji amarillo and huacatay are difficult ingredients to find in the States, I created a different but equally delicious green sauce that pairs great with the chicken. The sauce can also be used as a spread, dip or salad dressing.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup lager-style beer
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole-milk queso fresco (4 ounces)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
4 large garlic cloves
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped (or 1/2 cup mashed)

Steps:

  • For the chicken thighs: Whisk the beer, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl or baking dish. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for a minimum of 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • When ready to roast, set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, discard the marinating liquid from the bowl or baking dish and drizzle the oil over the chicken to fully coat. Transfer chicken thighs skin-side up to a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes.
  • While the chicken roasts, make the avocado green sauce: Combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are minced. Turn off the blender, add the avocado and blend until the sauce becomes smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute. Be careful to not over blend as the sauce will break. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with the avocado sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy sauce, use ripe avocados and blend them until completely smooth.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt.
  • To add a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or your favorite vegetables.

Conclusion:

This Chicken in Creamy Avocado Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy avocado sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress.
