CALABAZA CON POLLO (SQUASH WITH CHICKEN)

This is a wonderful chicken and vegetable dish that I grew up with in Texas.

Steps:

  • Puree the garlic, 1/2 cup cilantro, the thyme, the chopped jalapenos, 1/3 cup olive oil, the honey, lime juice and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Put the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the marinade; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes; season with salt. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring, until charred, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the tomato, the sliced jalapeno and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro; return the zucchini to the skillet, season with salt and toss. Cover to keep warm.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Slice the chicken and season with salt. Serve on the tortillas with the zucchini mixture. Serve with lime wedges.

3/4 cup torn fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3 jalapeno peppers (green or red); 2 roughly chopped, 1 thinly sliced

CHICKEN WITH TATUMA SQUASH ( POLLO CON CALABACITA )

After buying tatuma squash on a whim, I had to find a way to use it. Tatuma, or Mexican white squash, is native to Latin America. Similar to zucchini in shape, size and texture, Tatuma has a soft green skin with a slightly firm white flesh. If you can't find tatuma, zucchini or summer squash can be substituted. If using zucchini or summer squash, which cook faster than tatuma, add to the pan 5 minutes before the chicken is done.

POLLO FAJITAS

Chicken thighs are used in this recipe, but boneless, skinless breasts could be used instead. Be careful not to overcook, as the result could be rather dry chicken. Serve with warm flour tortillas, salsa and sour cream.
