PUEBLA CHICKEN AND POTATO STEW
Steps:
- Bring chicken, water, 2 onion quarters, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil, covered, in a 4- to 5-quart pot over moderately high heat. Boil 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving broth with onion. When cool enough to handle, coarsely shred chicken, discarding skin and bones.
- While chicken is cooking, heat a dry well-seasoned small cast-iron skillet over moderate heat until hot, then brown garlic and remaining 2 onion quarters on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes. Peel garlic and transfer with onion to a blender. Add tomatoes with juice, chiles, and oregano, then purée until smooth.
- Cook chorizo in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until fat is rendered, about 2 minutes. Carefully add purée (it will splatter and steam) and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, about 10 minutes.
- Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch pieces, then add to reserved broth with remaining teaspoon salt. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add potatoes and onions to chorizo mixture along with 2 cups broth (save remainder for another use). Stir in chicken and simmer 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with cheese.

CHICKEN, CORN, AND POTATO STEW
It looks like there is a lot to do here but it all goes quickly, especially if you use a food processor to grate the russets! The russet potatoes should dissolve and thicken the stew nicely. Talk about comfort food this is it! I'm guessing at the servings as we now have only myself and my DH at home and we had lots left. Excellent with cornbread.

Steps:
- Put chicken in a 6- to 8-quart pot and add water, broth, onion, guascas, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, skimming foam, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly (reserve broth).
- Add papas criollas to reserved broth (if using russet potatoes, peel and coarsely grate first) and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are falling apart and beginning to thicken broth (mash if necessary), 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel Yukon Golds and boiling potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, then add to pot and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add corn, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper and simmer, covered, until corn is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- While corn cooks, coarsely shred chicken, discarding skin and bones.
- Add chicken to stew and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with salt.
- Serve stew with crema, capers, avocados, and remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, each in separate bowls (or add them to stew in pot just before serving).
Tips:
- Use authentic Mexican ingredients: This will ensure that your stew has the best flavor. Look for ingredients like ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, and pasilla chiles. You can find these ingredients at most Latin American grocery stores.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: The spiciness of this stew can be easily adjusted to your liking. If you want a milder stew, use less chili powder and cayenne pepper. If you want a spicier stew, add more.
- Cook the stew low and slow: This will allow the flavors to develop fully. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor.
- Serve the stew with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Puebla chicken and potato stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The stew is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, and pasilla chiles. The chicken and potatoes are tender and juicy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. Serve the stew with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and shredded cheese, for a complete and satisfying meal.
