GREEN CHILE CHICKEN STEW



Green Chile Chicken Stew image

Many agree the best green chiles are grown in the Hatch Valley in southern New Mexico, so it's great to make this delicious chicken stew in early fall when they're are available. (Get a friend to send you some, or order them online.) But you can also make it throughout the year using frozen or canned green chiles. Though pork, beef or lamb are more traditional for green chile stew, this chicken version is a bit lighter, quicker to cook and still packs a punch. It's not a dish for the faint of heart.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, legs, or a cut-up whole chicken (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or lard
Flour, for dredging
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 cup chopped roasted New Mexico green chile, fresh or frozen and thawed
3 cups chicken stock or water
2 large potatoes, peeled, cut in 1-inch cubes
3 large carrots, peeled, cut in 2-inch slices
3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Warm flour or corn tortillas, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Brown chicken well on both sides, then remove and set aside.
  • Add onions to pot, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Then add chopped chiles and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Return chicken to pot; reduce heat to a brisk simmer, and cook, covered with lid ajar, for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots and cook for 20 to 25 minutes more, until vegetables are soft but not falling apart.
  • Skim fat from surface of sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt. For a thicker sauce, add dissolved cornstarch and stir well. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Serve in deep wide soup plates with plenty of sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Melissa's Green Chile Stew uses a combination of mild and hot green chiles, which gives the stew a complex flavor. If you prefer a milder stew, use only mild green chiles. If you like it hot, add more hot green chiles.
  • Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the chiles in the oven or on the stovetop. If you're roasting them in the oven, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred. If you're roasting them on the stovetop, place them in a hot skillet and cook them over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred.
  • Remove the seeds and stems: Once the chiles are roasted, remove the seeds and stems. This will help to reduce the heat of the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Melissa's Green Chile Stew uses a variety of vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, zucchini, or squash.
  • Season the stew to taste: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, garlic powder, or onion powder.

Conclusion:

Melissa's Green Chile Stew is a delicious and easy-to-make stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. The stew is made with a variety of vegetables, roasted green chiles, and ground beef. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, and other spices. The stew can be served with tortillas, rice, or bread.
