GREEN CHILE CHICKEN STEW



Green Chile Chicken Stew image

Many agree the best green chiles are grown in the Hatch Valley in southern New Mexico, so it's great to make this delicious chicken stew in early fall when they're are available. (Get a friend to send you some, or order them online.) But you can also make it throughout the year using frozen or canned green chiles. Though pork, beef or lamb are more traditional for green chile stew, this chicken version is a bit lighter, quicker to cook and still packs a punch. It's not a dish for the faint of heart.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, legs, or a cut-up whole chicken (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or lard
Flour, for dredging
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 cup chopped roasted New Mexico green chile, fresh or frozen and thawed
3 cups chicken stock or water
2 large potatoes, peeled, cut in 1-inch cubes
3 large carrots, peeled, cut in 2-inch slices
3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Warm flour or corn tortillas, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Brown chicken well on both sides, then remove and set aside.
  • Add onions to pot, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Then add chopped chiles and chicken stock and bring to a boil.

CHUY'S GREEN CHILE STEW



Chuy's Green Chile Stew image

Your basic green chile stew. The most important ingredient is the green chiles themselves; for best taste, I highly recommend roasted Hatch green chiles. I got the inspiration for this recipe from my favorite Tex-Mex joint, Chuys. I think it tastes like a pretty close facsimile thereof. One thing that Chuy's sometimes does is roast the vegetables instead of simmering them. If you choose to go that route, don't simmer them in the stew or they'll become too soft.

Categories     Stew

Time 2h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups approximately 6 to 8 chiles roasted green chilies, chopped (Hatch preferred)
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs or 1 rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
6 cups onions, coarsely chopped
4 cups carrots, diced into 1-inch pieces
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and quartered
4 cups roma tomatoes, quartered
6 cups new potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
10 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup diced green onion (optional)
flour tortilla, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in stock pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.Sprinkle the flour over the oil and whisk to create a light roux, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatillos to the roux and saute for a few minutes.
  • Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until garlic becomes fragrant. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and combine well. Add the carrots and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • If using chicken thighs: Add chicken thighs with the carrots. Skim off any fat which rises to the surface periodically while simmering ingredients.
  • Add the remaining vegetables and simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • If using chicken thighs: Pull chicken thighs from stew and let cool on a cutting board. When chicken has cooled, pull meat off of bones and shred into bite-size pieces. If using rotisserie chicken: Pull meat off of bones; discard skin and shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • Add chicken to stew and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed, and cumin to taste. If you don't like cumin too much, you can always use less; same for salt and pepper.
  • Stir in cilantro and green onions (if desired) and simmer for a few more minutes.
  • A note about the chiles: Hatch green chiles are best, and the heat in the stew depends primarily on the heat of the chiles. If your chiles are mild and you prefer more heat, you can add cayenne as desired. If hatch chiles are unavailable, you can also use Anaheim chiles. Roast them yourself on the grill, under a broiler, or on your gas cooktop until the skins are charred. Wrap in plastic foil for a few minutes until skin has softened, then scrape charred skin off of chiles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of green chiles: Anaheim, New Mexico, and Poblano peppers are all good choices for this stew. If you want a milder stew, remove the seeds from the peppers before cooking.
  • Roast the green chiles before adding them to the stew: This will help to deepen their flavor and give the stew a smoky taste. You can roast the peppers in a hot oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of beans in the stew: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables to the stew, such as corn, carrots, and potatoes.
  • Season the stew well: Use a combination of spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder, to flavor the stew. You can also add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavors and make the stew more tender. You can also cook the stew in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

Conclusion:

Melissa's Green Chile Stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. With its combination of roasted green chiles, beans, and spices, this stew is sure to please everyone at the table.
