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.
  • Return chicken to pot; reduce heat to a brisk simmer, and cook, covered with lid ajar, for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots and cook for 20 to 25 minutes more, until vegetables are soft but not falling apart.
  • Skim fat from surface of sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt. For a thicker sauce, add dissolved cornstarch and stir well. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Serve in deep wide soup plates with plenty of sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and lime wedges.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN STEW



Green Chile Chicken Stew image

This stew will keep you warm and cozy on those cold winter days!! I got this recipe together after months of harassing my friends in New Mexico in search of the perfect green chile chicken stew. I make it at least once every month (I myself use a pressure cooker). Serve with warm flour tortillas. This recipe has a lot of chile peppers. Be sure to tone it down if you can't handle heat!

Time 3h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 (4 ounce) can canned green chile peppers, chopped
4 habanero peppers, seeded and minced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 carrots, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large pot over medium heat and add water to cover. Add the cumin, thyme, marjoram and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 2 1/2 hours (or pressure cook for 45 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool. Discard the bones and the skin and chop the chicken meat into bite-size pieces.
  • Return the chicken to the pot and add the green chile peppers, habanero chile peppers, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes and potatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender (or pressure cook for 10 minutes). In a separate small bowl, mix the flour with some water and add to the soup, stirring well so the flour does not clump. Raise heat, bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 -15 hatch green chilies (if not available anaheim will work too)
2 lbs pork shoulder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 minced garlic cloves
1 -2 jalapeno, diced (only necessary if using anaheim chiles)
6 cups chicken broth
6 ounces beer (optional)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 large potatoes, diced 1/2-inch
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Broil green chiles in the oven turning often to evenly darken skin making sure they don't burn.
  • Remove from oven and cover with a dish cloth for 10 minutes to steam the skins off.
  • While the chiles are resting, cube the meat, sprinkle with salt & pepper and brown with onions & garlic in oil in a large pot for 5 minutes.
  • add jalepeno, broth, half a can of beer, spices.bring to a simmer.
  • let simmer for 1 hour.
  • Peel skin from chiles, chop and add to the pot (including the seeds).
  • Let simmer for 30 minutes then add the tomatoes & potatoes (add a cup of hot water if needed).
  • Simmer until potatoes are done.
  • melt butter in a small skillet & add flour, cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly -- add to the pot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: For a medium heat level, use a combination of Anaheim and Poblano peppers. For a spicier stew, add some Serrano or Jalapeno peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs of the chiles before cooking to reduce the heat.
  • Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or char them directly over a gas flame until blackened.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and oregano add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the stew. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Simmer the stew low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the stew with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or tortilla chips. You can also add a dollop of guacamole or salsa.

Conclusion:

New Mexican Green Chile Chicken Stew is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
