A spicy chicken dish with a tomatillo sauce, best served over rice and accompanied with beans (black, red, or pinto are probably best). To increase the heat of the dish, you can always add more chiles - perhaps a serrano pepper.

POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

Steps:
- Put onion and garlic in slow cooker. Top with chicken and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Layer poblanos and corn over chicken and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook according to manufacturer's instructions (chicken should be falling off the bone).
- Lift chicken from cooking liquid and transfer to serving bowls. Whisk sour cream and cilantro into cooking liquid, then spoon over chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- To make the perfect chicken filling, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Season the chicken generously with a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear the chicken in a hot skillet until browned, then shred it using two forks.
- For the poblano chiles, roast them directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackened. Let the chiles cool slightly, then peel off the charred skin. Remove the stems and seeds, and chop the flesh into small pieces.
- To make the corn salsa, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using. Combine the corn with chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- When assembling the burritos, start by spreading a layer of refried beans on a tortilla. Top with the chicken filling, poblano chiles, corn salsa, sour cream, and cheese. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it up tightly.
- For the best results, serve the burritos immediately. You can also wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
