Categories     Chicken     Herb     Poultry     Broil     Hot Pepper     Summer     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 small skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total)
2 cups poblano chile sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler and lightly brush a shallow baking pan with some oil. Finely chop garlic and in a small bowl stir together with cilantro and salt. Pat chicken dry and trim any fat.
  • To form a pocket in chicken for cilantro filling: Put a chicken breast half on a cutting board and, beginning in middle of 1 side of breast half, horizontally insert a sharp thin knife three fourths of the way through center, moving knife in a fanning motion to create a pocket. (Opening will only be about 1 inch wide.) Make pockets in remaining chicken breast halves in same manner. Put about 1/2 tablespoon filling into each pocket and with finger spread evenly. Transfer chicken to baking pan and brush with remaining oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat 7 minutes. Turn chicken over and broil until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve chicken with sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was also very good, but I added a little bit of extra spice to taste.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for less time next time.

This cilantro-stuffed chicken with poblano chile sauce was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and slightly spicy. I will definitely be making this dish again.
