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.

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.

ROASTED POBLANO AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Poblano and Chicken Enchiladas With Sour Cream Sauce image

Love this recipe!!! This is a combination of recipes that Dh and I came up with. It's my filling recipe and his sauce recipe. This looks like a lot of work, but really it's not. I usually make the filling up ahead of time and then all I have to do is roll them and make the sauce. Serve with black beans and spanish rice! Enjoy!!

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups rotisserie-cooked chicken
2 poblano peppers, roasted and chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
10 soft taco-size flour tortillas
1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
1 large shallot, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 serrano peppers (optional) or 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons flour
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • To roast the peppers: Cut poblano peppers in half, remove all seeds and stem. Roast poblano peppers at 450 degrees until skin begins to blister and turn black in spots, this should take about 10-15 minutes. ***I save the plastic produce sack the peppers came in and when they come out of the oven, I place them in the sack and seal the sack. Let sit 5-10 minutes. The steam from inside will loosen the black skin. Pick what you can of the black parts off, then chop the peppers.
  • Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  • To make the sour cream enchilada sauce: Saute shallot, garlic and peppers in butter over medium heat in a large skillet until veggies soften. Add spices. Cook for another minute.
  • Combine sour cream and flour well. Add to skillet along with chicken broth. Wisk to combine. (It'll look a little funny for a minute, but don't worry!) Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat, wisk and simmer until sauce is thick and creamy.
  • Add 3/4 cup of enchy sauce to the filling mixture. Combine well.
  • In a greased 13x9 casserole, coat the bottom of dish with 1/2 cup of enchy sauce.
  • Place 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in casserole. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top casserole with remaining enchy sauce.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until warm and bubbly!
  • Garnish with green onions.

Tips:

  • For a creamier sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese for extra richness.
  • If you don't have poblano peppers, you can substitute them with another type of mild pepper, such as bell peppers or Anaheim peppers.
  • To make the dish spicier, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or tortillas. You can also top it with avocado slices, cilantro, or sour cream.
  • Leftover chicken with poblano cream sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Chicken with Poblano Cream Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is flavorful and pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
