Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup (or more) organic chicken broth
4 large dried New Mexico chiles,* stemmed, seeded, coarsely torn
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 tablespoons butter, divided
4 skinless boneless organic chicken breast halves
2 15-ounce cans golden hominy
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring broth and chiles to boil in small saucepan. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender. Add vinegar, honey, and cumin. Blend until smooth, thinning with broth by tablespoonfuls as needed for thick sauce. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; rinse out and reserve blender.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven; roast chicken until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend hominy with juice until just coarsely chopped, about 5 seconds; drain well. Stir hominy and 3 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in half of cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon hominy onto plates. Top with chicken, then sauce and remaining cilantro. * Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

I didn't like the combination of chicken and hominy polenta. I think they just didn't go together well.

The dish was bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

The chicken was a bit overcooked. I think I should have cooked it for a few minutes less.

The hominy polenta was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been creamier.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a hotter chile pepper than the recipe called for. Next time, I'll use a milder pepper.

The leftovers were even better the next day. I reheated the chicken and polenta in the microwave, and it was just as good as when it was fresh.

This dish was easy to make, and it didn't take long to cook. I had dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of hominy, but I really enjoyed the polenta in this dish. It was creamy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the chicken.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

The hominy polenta was a great way to soak up all the delicious juices from the chicken. I added a little extra cheese to mine, and it was heavenly.

I used a cast iron skillet to cook the chicken, and it came out perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet if you have one.

The New Mexico chile glaze was the star of the show. It was sweet, smoky, and had just the right amount of heat. I could have eaten the chicken and polenta without the glaze, but it really took the dish to the next level.

This dish was a hit at my dinner party! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the hominy polenta was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.
