Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
5 dried pasilla or anocho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, or handful regular tortilla chips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
One 3.1-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, chopped, (recommended: Ibarra*)
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, as needed
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup queso fresco or mild Feta

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
  • For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
  • To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

POBLANO CHILE ENCHILADAS A LA GRINGA



Poblano Chile Enchiladas a la Gringa image

Prepare for your taste buds to jump for joy!

Provided by Olga Gonzalez

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
4 fresh poblano chilies
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts, garlic, onion, water, and chicken bouillon into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. When finished, remove the chicken to a plate to cool. Measure out 1 cup of the chicken broth and discard the rest.
  • Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame, or underneath a broiler until the skin has blackened on all sides. Place the chiles into a plastic bag, or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam as they cool, about 30 minutes. When cool, peel the blackened skin off of the pepper, and remove the seeds and membrane.
  • Place the reserved chicken broth into a blender along with the roasted poblanos and sour cream. Puree until smooth and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time until softened and beginning to crisp. Place onto a plate and set aside. Pour the pureed poblano mixture into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, slice the cooled chicken breasts into 1/4 inch strips.
  • Using tongs, dip a tortilla into the sauce, coating both sides. Place some of the chicken in the center of the tortilla, roll tightly, then place on a serving dish with the seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining sauce over top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken poblano filling, start by cooking the chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the chicken is cooked through, shred it and set it aside.
  • While the chicken is cooking, roast the poblano peppers. To do this, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred and blistered. Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, peel and seed the peppers.
  • Once the chicken and poblano peppers are cooked, it's time to make the sauce. To do this, heat some oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Then, add the onions and garlic and cook until they are softened. Next, add the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • To assemble the chicken poblano chiladas, start by spreading some of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Then, dip each tortilla into the sauce and fill it with some of the chicken and poblano pepper filling. Roll up the tortillas and place them in the baking dish. Continue until all of the tortillas have been filled and rolled up.
  • Once all of the chiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over them. Then, top the chiladas with the cheese and bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Chicken poblano chiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you have some leftover chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
