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.

Provided by Linda Rutkowski

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups ranch dressing
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup slivered almonds
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed potato chips, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spread bread crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. Press chicken breast halves into bread crumbs to coat. Gently pat chicken to let any loose crumbs fall away. Place coated breasts onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil to brown completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread rice into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange browned chicken breasts atop the rice.
  • Mix ranch dressing, celery soup, mozzarella cheese, and almonds together in a bowl; pour over the chicken and rice, assuring the chicken is covered completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the ranch dressing mixture and top with crushed potato chips.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
