Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 Fresno chile, seeds removed for less heat if desired, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 bay leaf
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
4 cups shredded chicken (from 1 whole rotisserie chicken)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
One 16-ounce bag frozen corn, thawed (or 3 to 4 cups fresh corn cut from the cob)
6 slices Cheddar, from the deli
Greek yogurt or sour cream, sliced scallions and tortilla chips for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and Fresno and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin and bay leaf and cook until the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree, then stir and cook until it starts to bubble and brown a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Stir in the beans and corn and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced and the chili is thick, about 30 minutes. Cut pumpkins out of the cheese slices with a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. Using a paring knife, give each pumpkin eyes, a nose and a mouth to resemble a jack-o'-lantern. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the cheese pumpkins. Serve with the Greek yogurt, scallions and tortilla chips.

1 clove garlic, chopped
4 tablespoons flour

2 cups Arborio rice, or medium grain rice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup pepitas, toasted and lightly salted

Steps:

  • Combine the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken thighs and set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven (enameled cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the chicken thighs, not to crowd. Cook until nicely colored, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat until all the chicken is golden brown. Remove to a plate to hold.
  • Remove all but 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and, over medium-high heat, add the onions, Poblano peppers and red bell peppers. Cook until the onions are just starting to caramelize, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring frequently.
  • Add the beans to the pot and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, Green Chile Sauce and the pumpkin and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, and then return the chicken to the pot with any accumulated juices. Nestle the chicken into the sauce, cover and bring to a simmer, adjusting the heat as needed. Simmer for 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning adjustments and serve with Green Chile Cilantro Rice with Pepitas
  • In a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the onions and jalapeno and saute until just starting to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle the onion mixture with the flour and stir constantly until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved liquid from the chiles, 1 cup water, the vinegar and salt and stir until the liquid is smooth and all the flour is dissolved.
  • Add the chiles and pepper and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Puree in a blender, or with a stick blender, and add the lime juice. Adjust to taste for salt and pepper. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Yield: 4 1/2 cups
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the chicken stock and the Green Chile Sauce to a simmer. Hold warm.
  • In a large, enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the onions and serrano chiles and saute until the onion is just starting to color, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat, Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the rice a bit. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Ladle in the chicken stock and green chile mix, about 1 cup at a time, stirring and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid. Do this 3 to 4 times, and then add the rest of the liquid. Stir, cover tightly and cook for 12 to 16 minutes, stirring twice during this time.
  • Add the lime juice and cilantro and stir to combine. Place in serving bowl and garnish with the pepitas.

Old-Fashioned Chicken and Corn Stew image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Milk/Cream     Chicken     Potato     Sauté     Stew     Quick & Easy     Corn     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts and thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boiling potatoes
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (14 ounces)
3/4 cup water
2 ears frozen corn, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat butter and oil in a 4- to 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then lightly brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a bowl using tongs.
  • While chicken is browning, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon thyme to pot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and water and bring to a boil, whisking.
  • Add potatoes and corn to onion mixture, then cover and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken (along with any juices accumulated in bowl) and cream, then simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through and potatoes are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon thyme.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • If you don't have pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin or butternut squash.
  • If you don't have sweetcorn, you can use frozen or canned corn.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread, rice, or pasta.
