Cremoso Pollo En Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Licúa la salsa y el queso crema hasta obtener una mezcla homogénea.
• Cocina el pollo en una sartén a fuego medio-alto durante 2 min. por lado o hasta que esté dorado por ambos lados. Ponle encima la mezcla de salsa; tápalo. Cocínalo a fuego medio-bajo durante 8 min. Destápalo; cocínalo. 5 min. más o hasta que el pollo esté cocido (alcance una temperatura interna de 165ºF).
• Ponle encima el cilantro justo antes de servirlo.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. In a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons oil, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika and cayenne. Rub each piece of chicken with the spice paste and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes for the flavor to develop.
• In a heavy, ovenproof casserole with lid, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fry the chorizo over medium heat until it is crispy and renders its fat. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place the chicken in the pan, skin side down, and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes Remove from pan and set aside. Make a sofrito by sauteing the onion, garlic, bell pepper and bay leaves; cooking until the vegetables are very soft and almost dissolved. Stir in the rice so the grains are well coated with the sofrito.
• Add the tomatoes and broth, season with salt and pepper. Return the chorizo and chicken to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Cover and transfer pot to oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done and the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Scatter the olives on top of the chicken and rice before serving.
• To prepare the Salsa Verde: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, mash together all ingredients to form a loose paste. Garnish Arroz Con Pollo with Salsa Verde before serving.

Steps:

• Add the tomatillos, onion, serrano peppers, and garlic to a medium saucepan. Pour in enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the vegetables are very tender and the tomatillos have changed color, 8-10 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender and discard the cooking liquid. Purée the vegetables until broken down. Add the chopped cilantro, salt, and chicken stock. Blend the salsa until smooth. It should be speckled and thick.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the salsa verde to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook until the salsa deepens in color and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the salsa into a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Working 2 at a time, fry the tortillas for 1 minute per side, until starting to brown but not completely fried. They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable enough to roll. Transfer the tortillas to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
• Set a rack in the center of the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Spread ½ cup of the salsa verde over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.
• Assemble the enchiladas: Dip a tortilla in the remaining salsa verde so both sides are coated. Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add about 4 tablespoons of shredded chicken to the center. Roll tightly. Place the filled tortilla, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Pour any remaining salsa over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the queso fresco.
• Broil the enchiladas until the cheese is just melted, 2-4 minutes.
• Serve the enchiladas warm with the diced onion, Mexican crema, and cilantro leaves for topping
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Dredge both sides of chicken through the flour, shaking off excess.
• Melt the butter over med heat in a large heavy bottomed pot.
• Add the chicken and cook over med-high heat turning once, until both sides are well browned, but chicken is not quite cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side).
• Remove chicken from the pot and keep warm.
• Pour the chicken broth into the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Place the green salsa, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, and cumin into the pot; bring to a boil.
• Just as the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to obtain a slow simmer. Add the chicken breasts back into the sauce and spoon sauce over each piece of chicken.
• Continue to cook until chicken is cooked through and tender (about 15 minutes).
• Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if desired.
• Place chicken on a serving platter and spoon sauce over each piece.
• Top each piece of chicken with a heaping tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle some chopped green onion over the sour cream.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts evenly over the bottom of the crock pot and cover completely with salsa verde.
• Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. Approximately 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken. Remove individual chicken breasts from Crock Pot, sprinkle with cilantro and serve!
