CREAMY HATCH CHILE AND MUSHROOM CHICKEN BREASTS

I made this dish with Hatch chiles that I had in my freezer and some onions and mushrooms that needed to be used. I served it over a bed of cilantro-lime rice. I shredded my chicken breast and mixed it in with the rice. Hubby preferred his chicken breast whole. We're going through a stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus pandemic and this was a great meal to make with items that I already had.

CREAMY HATCH CHILE CHICKEN

Hatch chiles are in season for only 8 weeks a year, 10 weeks if the weather is extra warm. Our local markets roast and sell them in 25-lb boxes. We buy 50 lbs every year, package them, and freeze them. This flavorful recipe can be served in tortillas, over rice, or by itself.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 cup Hatch chile peppers, seeded and sliced
1 cup sliced onion
3 cloves garlic, pressed
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in the hot oil without moving to blacken skin, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and cook about 2 more minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add butter to the skillet. Cook chile peppers and onion in the melted butter until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cream until combined. Season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Place chicken on top of onions and chiles and cover with foil.
  • Place in the preheated oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful hatch chiles. Look for chiles that are deep red or green in color, and have a smooth, shiny skin. Avoid chiles that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the hatch chiles before using them. Roasting brings out the chiles' smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel and chop.
  • Use a food processor to make the creamy sauce. This will help to create a smooth and velvety sauce.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and cook until it is cooked through. This will help to infuse the chicken with the flavor of the sauce.
  • Serve the creamy hatch chile chicken over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Creamy hatch chile chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of creamy sauce and smoky chiles is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe, give creamy hatch chile chicken a try!
