Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 to 3 lbs. skinless,boneless chicken breast
3 t cumin
3 t dried mexican oregano
1 t salt
1 t freshly ground pepper
1 lb. chili peppers, preferably Pablano: anaheim will do
3/4 lb. fresh husked tomatillos

2 cups chicken stock
2 1/2 T oil
1 medium onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, chopped
3 ears fresh corn
1/3 cup heavy cream or half and half
2/3 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Rub chicken with a mixture of cumin,oregano, salt and pepper. 2. Roast peppers and then tomatillos separately under a broiler at top oven shelf setting, turning occasionally until charred all over. 7 to 10 minutes for peppers, 3 to 5 minutes for tomatillos. Place peppers in a plastic storge bag to steam for at least 15 minutes. In the meantime, roast, peel and chop the tomatillos. Rub the skins off the peppers under cold running water. Remove stems and seeds. Chop roasted peppers and set vegetables aside. 3. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pumkin seeds while occasionally shaking the pan until they pop, about 4 to 5 minutes. In a blender of processor, puree the seeds with one cup of the chicken stock. 4. In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are softened. Add the chicken and braise turning occasionally until the pink disappers, about 5 minutes. Add remaining chicken stock, pumpkin seed puree and roasted chopped vegetables. Stir and simmer covered over low heat for 45 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, cut the kernals off the corn cobs, and "milk" cob by rubbing bare cob with back of knife. Or use frozen corn. After the chicken has simmered for 40 minutes, add corn to pot. Add the cream and 1/3 cup of celantro and simmer 10 minutes longer. Salt and pepper to taste. 5. Garnish with additional cilantro on top and serve..

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this stew was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was very tender.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I usually add a can of corn and black beans to make it even more hearty. I also like to top it with sour cream and avocado.
