Categories     Chicken     Salsas

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Lb. of chicken breast cut into 4 (4 oz. pieces)
Salt & pepper to season the chicken
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
3 Large Poblano peppers or 4 Small
3 Slices of white onion (about ½ of a small onion)
1 Large garlic clove (peeled)
1 Cup of heavy cream
¾ Cup milk 2% or whole
1 Tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
1 Tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper to taste.
½ cup of corn kernels optional (I used the ones that sell frozen and thawed them)

Steps:

  • Turn on your oven-broiler to the high setting in preparation to roast the peppers, onion, and garlic. As I mentioned in my notes, you do not need to use your oven to roast the peppers and the other ingredients if you have a gas stove, you can even roast them over a regular griddle. If you use this oven version, take advantage and also use the hot oven to warm other foods.
  • Place the poblano peppers, onion slices, and garlic clove on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil, roast for about 2 minutes per side. Remove garlic promptly since it will be ready quickly.
  • Remove from oven and lightly wrap with the aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
  • Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large frying pan, once it is hot add the chicken breast to cook about 3-4 minutes per side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken cutlets. Do not overcook, since they will keep cooking with the Poblano salsa. Remove from the frying pan, place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Clean peppers removing the charred skins, open the peppers by making a slit from top to bottom and remove the seeds and veins. Reserve one half of one pepper and cut into small strips.
  • Place the rest of the peppers, white onion, garlic, heavy cream, milk, and chicken bouillon in your blender. Process until you have a beautiful creamy sauce.
  • Melt butter in the same frying pan, and pour the sauce. Gently simmer on a medium heat, allow cooking for 5 minutes, adding the chicken, and keep cooking for another 5-6 minutes. Keep the heat low to avoid the creamy sauce from curdling.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small to medium fresh poblano peppers
Two 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Two 2 ounce slices pepper jack cheese
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Cajun spice, such as Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic Spice
1/2 tablespoon ancho chile powder

Steps:

  • For the poblano and pepper jack-stuffed chicken breasts: Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame until completely charred, transfer to a plastic bag and seal for 10 minutes. Peel the charred skin, remove all the seeds and cut each pepper in half.
  • Meanwhile, put chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, heat, then add the chicken and cook until the first side is golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden-brown, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the ancho chile cream sauce: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and cook until reduced by 1/3. Add the Cajun spice and ancho chile powder and simmer for another minute or so. Keep warm.
  • When the chicken is done, cut each piece into 2 equal halves. Lay one piece in the centers of 2 dinner plates and top each with 2 poblano halves, 1 piece of pepper jack, and another piece of chicken. Pour half of the Ancho Chile Cream Sauce over the tops and serve immediately.

Poblano Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

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.
