POLLO A LA CREMA

My favorite dish at our local Mexican Restaurant. Chicken, mushrooms & onions in a spicy cream sauce, YUM! Very rich, but so delish! A real comfort food. I have been playing with the recipe for some time, just trying to get close to what they serve. I think I'm finally as close as I can get. 5/30/08 Update: If you can find Mexican Crema (dairy case at my grocer) it is thicker and works better than cream. This is also good served over rice or noodles. ***I discovered that my Paprika had gotten old and lost strength, when I bought new, I also had to reduce the amount. The recipe now reflects the reduced amount.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2 large red bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¼ cup sour cream

2 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground dried Anaheim or California chiles
12 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl, and heat 1 more tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium heat.

POLLO EN CREMA

This is my clone of another Mexican dish that I love to get at one of the local restaurants, Los Banditos.

Provided by Miss Erin C.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 green pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Boil the chicken in water until cooked through, drain and set aside.
  • Saute the onions in 1 Tbsp butter until softened.
  • In the saute pan, add the cream cheese, sour cream and milk, stir until smooth.
  • Add green peppers and chicken, cook until heated through.
  • Roll each tortilla with some of the chicken filling inside, put into a 11x13 pan.
  • When all tortillas are filled, sprinkle cheese over the top.
  • Broil until the top is golden brown and bubbly and the tortillas are a bit crispy on the ends.
  • Serve with refried beans.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Look for chicken that is fresh, free-range, and organic if possible. This will ensure that your dish has the best possible flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed pan, you can use a regular pan, but be sure to watch the chicken closely so that it doesn't burn.
  • Use a good quality crema: Crema is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a crema that is made with fresh cream and has a thick, rich consistency.
  • Serve immediately: Pollo en crema is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the chicken is tender and juicy and the sauce is creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pollo en crema is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the whole dish comes together in just 30 minutes. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, you're sure to love this recipe. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give pollo en crema a try. You won't be disappointed.
