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!!

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.

CHICKEN IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE



Chicken in Poblano Cream Sauce image

Poblano chiles are one of my favorite chiles to cook with. When roasted, they give a strong earthy taste to your food. So of course I had to add this recipe to my collection. With the spicy, creamy flavor, this poblano chicken is absolutely one of my favorites. If you have a gas stove, just roast the chiles over open flame, rotating occasionally until charred on all sides.

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
½ cup water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano and serrano chiles onto the prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.

FILETE DE CULICHI (TILAPIA W MUSHROOMS IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE)



Filete De Culichi (Tilapia W Mushrooms in Poblano Cream Sauce) image

This is a my take on a special dish that our favorite Mexican restaurant in our town - 3 Margaritas - makes for my husband and me. It is not on the menu, but since we love fish they made this for us once and now we get it often, as do our friends. We expect this to be on the menu someday soon. It is tender Tilapia sautéed with garlic butter, topped with mushrooms and smothered in a special Poblano Cream sauce and it is YUMMY! You could replace the tilapia with anything - another kind of fish, chicken, whatever... and it would still be great! Serve with rice and beans on the side and fresh flour tortillas for dipping!

POLLO POBLANO: CHICKEN IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE



POLLO POBLANO: CHICKEN IN POBLANO CREAM SAUCE image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 poblano chiles, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup Mexican crema or heavy cream
salt to taste
2 whole chicken breasts, cut in half
1 cup grated manchego, jack or gouda cheese

Steps:

  • Puree the chiles in a blender with the milk until smooth. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the flour and brown lightly. Add the chile puree, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a wire whisk until smooth. Lower the heat, add the cream, and stir constantly until the sauce begins to bubble. Remove from heat and add salt to taste. This sauce may be made one day ahead and refrigerated. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet and saute chicken breast halves for 4 minutes on each side. Place them in a buttered baking dish, pour the poblano cream sauce over all, top with the grated cheese and bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 350º for 20 minutes. The cheese will be golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are deep green and firm, with no blemishes or wrinkles.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. Char the skins until they are blackened and blistered, then place them in a paper bag to steam for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the seeds and veins from the poblano peppers: Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, carefully remove the seeds and veins. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
  • Use a high-quality chicken stock: The chicken stock is a key ingredient in this sauce, so be sure to use a good quality stock that is full of flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked just until it is heated through. Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and gloppy.

Conclusion:

This poblano cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for chicken, fish, or vegetables. The sauce is also great as a dip for chips or pretzels. With its smoky, creamy flavor, this poblano cream sauce is sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
