Charred Corn Chicken And Poblano Enchiladas Recipes

ROASTED POBLANO AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To roast the peppers: Cut poblano peppers in half, remove all seeds and stem. Roast poblano peppers at 450 degrees until skin begins to blister and turn black in spots, this should take about 10-15 minutes. ***I save the plastic produce sack the peppers came in and when they come out of the oven, I place them in the sack and seal the sack. Let sit 5-10 minutes. The steam from inside will loosen the black skin. Pick what you can of the black parts off, then chop the peppers.
• Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
• To make the sour cream enchilada sauce: Saute shallot, garlic and peppers in butter over medium heat in a large skillet until veggies soften. Add spices. Cook for another minute.
• Combine sour cream and flour well. Add to skillet along with chicken broth. Wisk to combine. (It'll look a little funny for a minute, but don't worry!) Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat, wisk and simmer until sauce is thick and creamy.
• Add 3/4 cup of enchy sauce to the filling mixture. Combine well.
• In a greased 13x9 casserole, coat the bottom of dish with 1/2 cup of enchy sauce.
• Place 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in casserole. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top casserole with remaining enchy sauce.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until warm and bubbly!
• Garnish with green onions.

POBLANO CHILE ENCHILADAS A LA GRINGA

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts, garlic, onion, water, and chicken bouillon into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. When finished, remove the chicken to a plate to cool. Measure out 1 cup of the chicken broth and discard the rest.
• Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame, or underneath a broiler until the skin has blackened on all sides. Place the chiles into a plastic bag, or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam as they cool, about 30 minutes. When cool, peel the blackened skin off of the pepper, and remove the seeds and membrane.
• Place the reserved chicken broth into a blender along with the roasted poblanos and sour cream. Puree until smooth and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time until softened and beginning to crisp. Place onto a plate and set aside. Pour the pureed poblano mixture into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, slice the cooled chicken breasts into 1/4 inch strips.
• Using tongs, dip a tortilla into the sauce, coating both sides. Place some of the chicken in the center of the tortilla, roll tightly, then place on a serving dish with the seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining sauce over top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

GRILLED CORN AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH ROASTED POBLANO SAUCE

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a sauté pan. Add garlic and onion and sauté until translucent. Add cumin and oregano and cook for 1-2mins until spices start to toast. Deglaze with beer.
• Nestle chicken breasts on top of onions and cover. Cook for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and cool enough to shred the chicken.
• Mix the shredded chicken with the onions, garlic and liquid from the pan and add the kernels from 3 ears of corn.
• Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes in husks. Cool until it is easy to husk and cut kernels from cob.
• At the same time, put poblanos on the grill and char on every side. Put them in a paper sack for 15 minutes to sweat. Remove the pepper skins. They should peel off easily. Stem, seed and dice the peppers.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan until bubbly. Add the flour and whisk for 1-2mins until flour is cooked. Slowly add the warm chicken broth. Cook until thickened and add 1 cup Monterey jack cheese and the peppers. Puree and taste for salt and pepper.
• Warm up a ladleful of sauce in a small sauté pan and put a tortilla in the pan cooking until pliable.
• Place the tortilla on a plate and fill with the chicken mixture and a sprinkling of pepper jack.
• Place in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
• Continue until all of the filling is used up.
• Cover the enchiladas with remaining sauce, sprinkle with the remaining corn and pepper jack cheese.
• Cover and bake at 375°F for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for 15 minutes more or until bubbly and golden.
