But we also have an 80-acre farm, filled with pine trees, that belonged to my great-granddad - one day, we hope to build a house there. -Patti Henson, Linden, Texas

SANTE FE CHICKEN



Sante Fe Chicken image

Categories     Chicken     Garlic     Poultry     Tomato     Braise     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken thighs
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 14 1/2-ounce can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 large 8- to 10-ounce) yam, peeled, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch dice
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup bottled mild green taco sauce
1 15-ounce can golden hominy, drained

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sauté chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add stewed tomatoes, yam, chilis, broth, 6 tablespoons cilantro and taco sauce. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is just tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Add hominy to skillet and boil until yam is tender and juices are reduced to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return chicken and any collected juices to skillet. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat gently before continuing.) Transfer to large deep serving platter. Garnish with remaining cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the stew. The bones and skin will add flavor to the broth.
  • Sear the chicken thighs in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Add the vegetables to the pot and cook until softened. This will help to create a flavorful base for the stew.
  • Add the spices and seasonings to the pot. Be sure to taste the stew and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Bring the stew to a simmer and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through. The longer the stew simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the stew over rice or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This Santa Fe chicken 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 spices, vegetables, and chicken. It is also a healthy and affordable meal that can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Santa Fe chicken stew a try.
