POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



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.

ROASTED POBLANO AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Poblano and Chicken Enchiladas With Sour Cream Sauce image

Love this recipe!!! This is a combination of recipes that Dh and I came up with. It's my filling recipe and his sauce recipe. This looks like a lot of work, but really it's not. I usually make the filling up ahead of time and then all I have to do is roll them and make the sauce. Serve with black beans and spanish rice! Enjoy!!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups rotisserie-cooked chicken
2 poblano peppers, roasted and chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
10 soft taco-size flour tortillas
1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
1 large shallot, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 serrano peppers (optional) or 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons flour
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • To roast the peppers: Cut poblano peppers in half, remove all seeds and stem. Roast poblano peppers at 450 degrees until skin begins to blister and turn black in spots, this should take about 10-15 minutes. ***I save the plastic produce sack the peppers came in and when they come out of the oven, I place them in the sack and seal the sack. Let sit 5-10 minutes. The steam from inside will loosen the black skin. Pick what you can of the black parts off, then chop the peppers.
  • Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  • To make the sour cream enchilada sauce: Saute shallot, garlic and peppers in butter over medium heat in a large skillet until veggies soften. Add spices. Cook for another minute.
  • Combine sour cream and flour well. Add to skillet along with chicken broth. Wisk to combine. (It'll look a little funny for a minute, but don't worry!) Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat, wisk and simmer until sauce is thick and creamy.
  • Add 3/4 cup of enchy sauce to the filling mixture. Combine well.
  • In a greased 13x9 casserole, coat the bottom of dish with 1/2 cup of enchy sauce.
  • Place 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in casserole. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top casserole with remaining enchy sauce.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until warm and bubbly!
  • Garnish with green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are dark green, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. Then, transfer the peppers to a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel and seed them.
  • Make the verde sauce ahead of time: The verde sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The recipe calls for a combination of cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. You can also use other types of cheese, such as queso Oaxaca or queso fresco.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be baked for just long enough to heat through and melt the cheese. Overcooking the casserole will make it dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Poblano Chicken with Verde Sauce Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of roasted poblano peppers, creamy verde sauce, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the casserole with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
