Smothered Chicken Enchiladas With Poblano Pepper Onion And Sour Cream 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.

SMOTHERED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH POBLANO PEPPER, ONION, AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Adjust oven rack to upper position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, separating greens and whites. Halve, core, and seed poblano, then cut into ½-inch pieces. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and poblano and cook, tossing, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
• Add chicken and half the Southwest spice to same pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• Heat a drizzle of oil and 1 TBSP butter in another, medium-sized pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, enchilada spice, and remaining Southwest spice. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 6 TBSP tomato paste (we sent more) and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup water and ½ tsp sugar. Bring to a simmer and let thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.
• Place a tortilla on your work surface and add half the chicken mixture towards one side. Roll up tortilla and place seam-side down in a small baking dish or ovenproof pan. Repeat with remaining tortilla and chicken mixture, placing rolls side-by-side. Spoon over enough sauce to generously coat (you may not need all). Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Place dish or pan in oven and bake until sauce is bubbly and cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Dollop baked enchiladas with sour cream. Sprinkle with scallion greens. Divide between plates and spoon over any remaining sauce.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS W/ POBLANO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To roast poblanos, slice in half, seed, flatten halves with palm of hand and place skin-side-up on cookie sheet. Broil for about 10 minutes on top rack of oven until skin is brown and bubbly. Immediately remove to plastic bag or container and place in refrigerator (this makes peeling skin very easy later!).
• Meanwhile, season chicken with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake at 425° for about 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and set oven temp at 350°. Allow to rest to maintain juiciness. Reserve cooking juices. Shred chicken by lightly pulsing in blender or pulling apart with two forks. Set aside.
• Peel and discard skin from cooled poblanos. Place poblano "meat" in blender, add cream of chicken soup and reserved juice from chicken's baking pan. Puree until smooth.
• Place about 2 Tbsp shredded chicken in a tortilla and top with a little shredded cheese and onion. Roll up and place in 11x13 baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas in package.
• Sprinkle tops of enchiladas with any extra cheese and onion. Pour poblano cream sauce over enchiladas, covering completely. Bake in 350° oven for about 30 minutes, til warmed through. Serve with side of rice and shredded lettuce.
