Cheesy Chipotle Chops Recipes

ROBIN'S CHEESY CHIPOTLE GRITS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the grits, then cover the saucepan, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Once the grits have cooked, stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, chipotle peppers, green chiles, and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted. Pour the grits into the prepared 9x13 inch dish, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, and has begun to brown, 30-45 minutes.

CHIPOTLE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons each butter and flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a saucepan; whisk over medium heat until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk; cook, whisking, until thick, about 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup grated Colby cheese, 1/4 cup chopped canned green chiles (drained), 1 diced plum tomato and 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce; stir until creamy.

CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
• Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

PORK CHOPS WITH CHIPOTLE CHERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over pork chops. In a large skillet, cook chops, uncovered, in oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat juices run clear. Remove to a serving platter and keep warm., In the same skillet, combine the sweet cherries, orange juice, dried cherries, vinegar, chipotle peppers, marmalade and garlic. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Spoon over chops; sprinkle with almonds and green onion.

CHEESY CHOPS & CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. In a large bowl toss the potatoes, onion, liquid and oil together. Season if you like. Tip the onion and potatoes into a large sauté pan and bake for 20-30 mins until the potatoes start to brown. Lay the chops on the potatoes and cook for 10 mins more.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix the cheese, mustard and milk together. When the chops have had 10 mins, spread the cheese mixture over them and switch the oven over to grill. Place the pan under the grill and cook for about 5 mins until the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are golden and crispy. Serve straight from the pan.

SLOW-COOKER CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except toppings in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in pork reads at least 145°, 4-5 hours. Top with french-fried onions and cilantro just before serving.

CHEESY CHIPOTLE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the potatoes all over and put on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hr until tender. Remove from the oven and leave until they're cool enough to handle. Can be done up to 1 day before. Mix the onion with the lime juice and a good pinch of salt. Leave to steep for 30 mins, or up to 1 day.
• Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the fluffy middles, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skins (you can freeze the scooped-out potato for making mash, soup or fish cakes). Cut each potato half in half again and toss in the oil and plenty of seasoning. Return to the oven for 15 mins to crisp up.
• Sieve the tomatoes to drain off any excess juice (save this for another recipe, if you like). Tip the drained tomatoes into a bowl and mix in the chipotle paste.
• Remove the potato skins from the oven, dollop the tomato mixture all over, then scatter over the cheese and chilli. Return to the oven for 5 mins until the cheese has melted. Scatter with the coriander and drained onions.

SMOKY CHIPOTLE MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
• Stir soup, evaporated milk, Colby cheese, and chipotle chile into the cooked pasta until well combined. Spoon mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
• Stir together panko bread crumbs and olive oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over the top of casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and the casserole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

CHEESY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse and dry your thighs and place them in a glass baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet on medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until soft (about 3 minutes).
• Stir in the adobo peppers and saute for 2 more minutes turning the heat down to medium-low.
• Stir in the BBQ sauce and fontina. Stir and melt the cheese with the sauce (about 4 minutes).
• Stir in the cream until blended then stir in the lime juice and blend well.
• Remove skillet from heat and pour sauce over the chicken thighs.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Remove chicken from the oven to a serving platter and top with the fresh cilantro then serve!

CHEESY CHIPOTLE CHOPS

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to directions on the box, set aside, keeping warm.
• Brown chops in oil over medium/high heat for 10 minutes, or until almost cooked; time depends on the thickness of the chops.
• Lower heat to medium/medium-low and remove chops, set aside keeping warm.
• Sprinkle flour into pan, just like you are going to make a roux.
• Allow to cook for two or three minutes so that you don't get a floury taste in your sauce.
• Slowly add milk, go slowly,you might want to use a whisk.
• Bring sauce just to a boil and add chipotles.
• Start adding cheese a little at a time and stir well until melted.
• Put chops back in pan and cook over low heat until chops are done about 5-10 minutes.
• Right before serving, stir in cilantro.
• Serve over elbow macaroni and top with chopped tomatoes.
• I actually never removed the chops, sprinkled the flour directly over them and made my sauce around the them; I also threw the macaroni into the pan for the last few minutes and stirred it in so that each noodle would be totally coated with cheesey sauce.
