Poblanos Stuffed With Cheddar and Chicken image

Another good recipe from Fine Cooking. These could be made ahead of time and heated through in the oven at a later time or the next day.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large poblano chiles
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 medium white onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon ground cumin
generous pinch ground cinnamon
kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken, preferably dark meat, cook and shredded
1 1/2 cups rice, cooked (brown or white)
2 cups white cheddar cheese, sharp, grated
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh and chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Slit the chiles from stem to tip and set on the baking sheet. Broil, turning every few minutes, until blackened all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, peel off the skins, and cut out the seed cores, leaving the stems on. Turn the chiles inside out, flick out any remaining seeds, and turn right side out. Return the poblanos to the baking sheet.
  • Purée the tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the purée and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture looks thick and pulpy, 8 to 11 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the chicken and rice, and then 1 cup of the cheese, the cilantro, and the lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Divide the filling among the peppers, wrapping the sides of the peppers up and around the filling, some of which will still be exposed.
  • Broil the peppers until the cheese is melting and the top is beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese and broil until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.

I'm not a fan of poblano peppers, but I loved this recipe! The chicken and cheddar filling was so flavorful that I didn't even miss the peppers.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use milder poblano peppers.

I'm allergic to cheese, so I substituted vegan cheese in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like that it uses poblano peppers, which are a healthy and flavorful ingredient.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of chicken and cheddar cheese seems a bit strange to me.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the poblano peppers were not as flavorful as I had hoped. I would not make this again.

Great recipe! The chicken and cheddar filling was flavorful and the poblano peppers were perfectly roasted. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the time specified. The cheddar cheese and poblano peppers were a great combination of flavors. I served this with a side of refrie
