Yield 3 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

~ 1 lb - skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 whole medium-sized red onion
1 6-oz can - chopped green chilis
1/4 cup drained pickled jalapeno peppers
2 cups (total) shredded Mexican Cheeses
~ 1/2 cup - El Phoenix hot sauce (though other salsas will substitute)
3 medium poblano peppers
3 large flour tortillas
1 28-oz can - El Paso Green Chili Enchilada Sauce
Garlic Powder
13" x 9" x 2" baking pan
Oven (convection if possible) preheated to 450 F.

Steps:

  • Core the stem and seeds, keeping the poblano peppers whole. Place poblano peppers on top rack of grill away from direct flame. Roast, turning frequently, while the skin blisters, but be careful it does not burn. When the skin evenly blisters and turns a light brownish color, remove and place in a tightly closed paper bag until ready to use (at least 10 min). They should be soft, but retain their shape. Next, take the boneless chicken thighs and coat with garlic powder, and grill on the cooler part of the flame, careful to turn them so that they are grilled but not charred. Cook until tender but slightly underdone. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. Place enough olive oil in a skillet to thinly coat the bottom. Cook the chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapeƱos, green chilis, & garlic powder (to taste) over low heat until caramelized. After the ingredients have begun to caramelize, reduce heat and add El Phoenix hot sauce. This should reduce to a mush. After the poblanos have cooled, remove the blistered skin (should be easy). What should remain is an easy to handle, but somewhat rigid pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, and divide it into two piles, one slightly larger. Place a small amount of cheese, then 1/3 of the chicken from the smaller pile, some onion-tomato mix, and some cheese into each of the poblano peppers. Place chicken from the larger pile into a line in the center of the tortillas, with some of the onion-tomato mix, and some cheese. Roll them, leaving both ends open. Place in pan with peppers, leaving some space between the enchiladas. Set the enchiladas on their seams, so they do not unroll while baking. Pour the entire contents of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and poblanos, allowing the sauce to completely cover them. Take the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top of the entire mixture. Place in the preheated oven, and cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until done. Once finished, the meal should be hot, bubbling and roasted.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 poblano peppers cut in half (cut so they are flat and open) and seeded
4 c chopped cooked chicken breasts
8 oz pkg cream cheese softened
4 seeded and chopped jalopena peppers
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 c fresh salsa, 1 cup for the chicken and 1 cup to serve on the side
1/2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
1 pt sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Cut poblano peppers in half so you can put chicken mixture on top. The peppers will not be stuffed like the fried ones.
  • 2. Mix chicken, jalopenas,cilantro, cream cheese, salsa and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese together. Put mixture on top of the peppers and place on a baking sheet.
  • 3. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees covered loosely with foil for 30 mins. Remove foil and bake another 30 mins. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side. I like to serve this with baracho beans and spanish rice

Tips:

  • Poblano peppers can be roasted, grilled, or fried. Roasting poblanos brings out their smoky flavor, while grilling gives them a slightly charred flavor. Frying poblanos gives them a crispy texture.
  • If you are using fresh poblano peppers, be sure to roast or grill them before stuffing. This will help to remove the tough outer skin and make them easier to eat.
  • When stuffing poblano peppers, be sure to not overstuff them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Chicken stuffed poblano peppers can be served with a variety of sauces, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
  • Chicken stuffed poblano peppers can also be topped with cheese, such as shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack.

Conclusion:

Chicken stuffed poblano peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique chicken stuffed poblano pepper recipe.
