POLLO A LA CREMA



Pollo a La Crema image

My favorite dish at our local Mexican Restaurant. Chicken, mushrooms & onions in a spicy cream sauce, YUM! Very rich, but so delish! A real comfort food. I have been playing with the recipe for some time, just trying to get close to what they serve. I think I'm finally as close as I can get. 5/30/08 Update: If you can find Mexican Crema (dairy case at my grocer) it is thicker and works better than cream. This is also good served over rice or noodles. ***I discovered that my Paprika had gotten old and lost strength, when I bought new, I also had to reduce the amount. The recipe now reflects the reduced amount.

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons butter, salted or unsalted, divided
2 pound chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut into thin strips
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 white or yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat one tablespoon butter to medium-high heat in a large cast-iron skillet or dutch oven.
