Chicken Breast Poblano image

This recipe is different than others. The recipe traditionally calls for 2 strips of proscuitto rolled into each chicken breast, but I prefer to omit it and thought this dish was still superb. Asadero cheese, sometimes labelled Chihuahua or Oaxaca cheese, is a white cow's milk cheese with good melting properties. It can be...

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)
1 1/4 lb asadero cheese, grated (about 5 cups)
4 large poblano chile peppers, roasted and chopped
1 c heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp low-fat sour cream
1 tsp salt
2 c low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and, using the flat end of a meat mallet, flatten it to about 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. (I skipped this step by purchasing thinly cut chicken breasts.).
  • 3. Place chicken on clean surface and sprinkle the top of each flattened chicken breast with 1/3 cup of the grated cheese. Starting with the long side, roll each breast into a tight cylinder. (I secured the rolled chicken breasts with toothpicks, but it wasn't included in the original recipe instructions.).
  • 4. Place each rolled chicken breast, seam side down and ends tucked under, into a 9x13-inch baking dish. The rolls should be touching. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • 5. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the chiles, heavy cream, sour cream, and salt. Process 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly blended, stopping once or twice to scrape the sides.
  • 6. Place chile mixture in 4-quart saucepan, add the chicken broth, and place on stove over medium heat. Bring to gentle simmer and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces slightly and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes.
  • 7. Pour the sauce mixture over the prepared chicken breasts and top with the remaining grated cheese. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the cheese is slightly browned and the sauce is bubbling. Remove from the oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • 8. Using a spatula, transfer the chicken to warmed dinner plates and spoon sauce over each serving. Serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm a beginner cook and I found it difficult to follow the instructions. I ended up making a lot of mistakes and the dish didn't turn out very well.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken poblano turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I overcooked the chicken?

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it turned out much better. I would also recommend using a different type of cheese, as the mozzarella didn't melt very well.

This recipe was a great starting point for me to create my own version of chicken poblano. I added some corn and black beans to the sauce, and used a different type of cheese. It turned out delicious!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend using milder poblano peppers if you don't like spicy food.
