Chicken Chile Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large pot over medium heat and add water to cover. Add the cumin, thyme, marjoram and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 2 1/2 hours (or pressure cook for 45 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool. Discard the bones and the skin and chop the chicken meat into bite-size pieces.
• Return the chicken to the pot and add the green chile peppers, habanero chile peppers, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes and potatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender (or pressure cook for 10 minutes). In a separate small bowl, mix the flour with some water and add to the soup, stirring well so the flour does not clump. Raise heat, bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, jalapeno, chili powder and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, yucca, corn, carrots and chipotles and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook until the yucca is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir to break up the yucca and thicken the broth slightly.
• Add the chicken and beans and cook, stirring occasionally, to heat and thicken, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides, for a total of 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Saute the garlic, poblano peppers and onions. Add the ancho chile powder, cumin and some salt and pepper to the pot, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot and stir in the chicken stock, green chiles and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes.
• Serve in bowls topped with cilantro and cheese if using.

Steps:

• Combine the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken thighs and set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven (enameled cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the chicken thighs, not to crowd. Cook until nicely colored, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat until all the chicken is golden brown. Remove to a plate to hold.
• Remove all but 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and, over medium-high heat, add the onions, Poblano peppers and red bell peppers. Cook until the onions are just starting to caramelize, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring frequently.
• Add the beans to the pot and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, Green Chile Sauce and the pumpkin and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, and then return the chicken to the pot with any accumulated juices. Nestle the chicken into the sauce, cover and bring to a simmer, adjusting the heat as needed. Simmer for 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning adjustments and serve with Green Chile Cilantro Rice with Pepitas

• Add the rice and stir to coat, Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the rice a bit. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Ladle in the chicken stock and green chile mix, about 1 cup at a time, stirring and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid. Do this 3 to 4 times, and then add the rest of the liquid. Stir, cover tightly and cook for 12 to 16 minutes, stirring twice during this time.
• Add the lime juice and cilantro and stir to combine. Place in serving bowl and garnish with the pepitas.

Steps:
