Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 1/2 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
7 ounces chicken broth
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces diced canned green chili peppers
2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
16 ounces cheddar cheese
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Brown in frying pan.
  • In a large sauce pan over medium heat combine the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth.
  • Then add the garlic, onion, green chile.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cover the bottom of a 12x9 baking dish with a thin layer of the sauce.
  • Cover with half of the tortillas.
  • Put half of the cooked chicken on top of the tortillas.
  • Spread half of the remaining sauce over the chicken.
  • Top with half of the cheese.
  • Repeat by layering the remaining tortillas, chicken, sauce, then cheese.
  • Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Allow several minutes to cool.
  • Top with chopped onions and fresh chopped tomatoes (optional) and serve with sour cream.
  • Yum.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: For this recipe, you'll need dried New Mexico chiles. These chiles are mild in heat and have a slightly sweet flavor. If you can't find dried New Mexico chiles, you can substitute another mild chile, such as Anaheim or pasilla.
  • Soak the chiles properly: Before you can use the chiles, you need to soak them in hot water until they are softened. This will take about 30 minutes. Once the chiles are softened, drain them and remove the stems and seeds.
  • Make the chile glaze ahead of time: The chile glaze can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will save you time on the day you're making the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through before you remove it from the pan. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

This New Mexico Chile Glazed Chicken on Hominy Plenta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the chile glaze is flavorful and slightly sweet. The hominy plenta is a creamy and hearty side dish that complements the chicken perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
