Green Chile Chicken Bisque Recipes

BAKED GREEN CHILE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. and spray an oven safe baking dish (approximately 11 x 7 inch) with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared dish.
• In a small bowl combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder salt and pepper. Coat the chicken breast evenly with the spice mixture and place them in the baking dish. Top the chicken with the strips of green chiles and pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top. Sprinkle on the shredded cheese and cover the baking dish with foil.
• Bake for 20 minutes then remove the foil and bake another 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
• While the chicken is baking prepare the rice. In a bowl stir together the cooked rice, enchilada sauce, green chiles, cilantro, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning and serve with the green chile chicken.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, make the marinade for the chicken: Combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender and mix until it's totally pureed. Pour into a large ziploc bag with the chicken breasts. Seal the bag, smush it around to coat the chicken, and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight if possible.) ***Note: You can use any marinade, homemade or storebought, you'd like! Anything works. After the chicken has marinated, roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold the peppers one by one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broilers.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large ziploc and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove them from the bag and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes. Lay out the roasted, seeded chile halves so they'll be ready.Grill the chicken (or saute it in a skillet) over medium-high heat for 4 minutes on the first side. Turn the chicken over, and on the cooked side lay on 2 chile halves and a nice slice of cheese. Turn the heat to medium-low and allow the chicken to finish cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, until it's totally done in the center. The cheese should melt on its own; if it needs a little help, invert an iron skillet over it (or put the lid on the skillet, if using).Remove the chicken from the skillet and serve it with rice and beans on the side. Top the chicken with a spoonful of pico de gallo or salsa.
