STACKED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE WITH CHEESY POBLANO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare corn in advance by either grilling in the husk (follow these grilling directions) or shucking and cooking at a full boil for 5 minutes. (If you'd like you can also substitute frozen corn).
• Char whole poblanos directly over a gas flame, on a grill or in broiler until blackened all over. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes. Peel off blackened skin, remove stem and seeds and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and bay leaf and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is tender. Add flour, salt, & pepper and stir the mixture for 1-2 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in the warm milk and chicken broth. Whisk and simmer until smooth and thick, 5 minutes
• Add half of the sauce mixture to a food processor or blender (covered loosely *see note) with the previously roasted poblano peppers, spinach, and cilantro. Pulse until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and combine with remaining creamy sauce base.
• Remove from the heat and add 4 ounces (1 cup) of shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the pan and stir. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt.
• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Heat a medium-sized skillet over high heat. Give each side of the tortilla a quick spray with cooking spray and cook for 20- 30 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Transfer tortilla to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Add the shredded chicken, 1/2 the poblano sauce, and 1 cup of corn to a large mixing bowl and fold the ingredients together.
• To assemble enchiladas, divide 6 tortillas onto two parchment lined baking sheets. Top each tortilla with ¼ cup of the shredded chicken mixture and spread evenly, add another tortilla and another ¼ cup chicken mixture, and then one more tortilla. Sprinkle each enchilada stack with 2 tablespoons shredded cheese.
• Bake uncovered for 10 minutes at 375F.
• Remove from the oven and plate, adding several tablespoons of sauce on top of each stack, then garnish with corn and cilantro.

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.

POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Mix in the poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Squeeze the juice from one lime half over the chicken, and place the lime peel and pulp into the skillet. Cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cut chicken into cubes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the flour and half-and-half. Mix in the cilantro, mushrooms, sour cream, and juice of remaining lime half. Cook and stir 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
• Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with 6 tortillas. Arrange 1/2 the chicken and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, and cover with remaining tortillas. Layer with remaining chicken and pepper mixture, and pour the cilantro sauce evenly over the casserole. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

POBLANO CHILE ENCHILADAS A LA GRINGA

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts, garlic, onion, water, and chicken bouillon into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. When finished, remove the chicken to a plate to cool. Measure out 1 cup of the chicken broth and discard the rest.
• Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame, or underneath a broiler until the skin has blackened on all sides. Place the chiles into a plastic bag, or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam as they cool, about 30 minutes. When cool, peel the blackened skin off of the pepper, and remove the seeds and membrane.
• Place the reserved chicken broth into a blender along with the roasted poblanos and sour cream. Puree until smooth and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time until softened and beginning to crisp. Place onto a plate and set aside. Pour the pureed poblano mixture into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, slice the cooled chicken breasts into 1/4 inch strips.
• Using tongs, dip a tortilla into the sauce, coating both sides. Place some of the chicken in the center of the tortilla, roll tightly, then place on a serving dish with the seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining sauce over top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
