Chipotle Chicken With Salsa Food

POLLO CON SALSA CHIPOTLE (CHICKEN WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Place the soaked chilies in a blender. Measure the soaking liquid in a jug and make up to 1 2/3 cups with the stock.
• Pour the liquid into the blender and process on high until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
• Place the onions in an ovenproof dish. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Pour the chipotle puree over the chicken covering each piece and cook in the oven for 1 hour until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
• Serve the chicken with soured cream, Mexican rice and frijoles de olla.

CHIPOTLE GRILLED CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the chipotles, garlic, oil, and salt. Wipe the chickens with paper towels. Thoroughly coat the pieces on all sides with a layer of the chipotle paste.
• Place in a nonreative baking dish or in resealable bags and refrigerate for 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
• Heat the grill to medium. With the lid open, grill the chicken on both sides until well marked but not burned- about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat to low, close the lid, and cook the chicken, skin side up, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees. (Alternatively, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.).
• Serve with tortillas and salsa.
• Avocado Salsa: Place the avocados in a bowl. Sprinkle with the salt an dlime juice; mix gently with the onion and cilantro (don't mash; it should look diced).
• Note: this salsa should be served within 3 hours. To help it keep its color, press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the avocado and refrigerate until needed.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WITH SALSA

Steps:

• For the chicken, make 3-4 diagonal slashes on the top of each chicken breast and place in a non-reactive (glass) bowl.
• For the marinade, mix all the marinade ingredients together and season well with salt and pepper. Spread the marinade all over the chicken. Cover the chicken and leave to marinate for 3-4 hours, or overnight if time permits.
• For the corn and avocado salsa, mix all the salsa ingredients together, season with salt and pepper and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Put the chicken on a grill-rack in a single layer. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
• Serve the chicken with the salsa and the warmed tortillas (if using).

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a food processor, roughly blitz the chicken thighs into chunky mince. Alternatively, chop into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add half the onion and the chicken mince. Season well and cook for about 5 mins on a high heat to brown, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Add the spices, vinegar, chipotle paste, passata and sugar. Cook for another 5 mins, then remove from the heat.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining onion, the pineapple and coriander. Serve the chicken and the pineapple salsa with warm tortillas and hot sauce.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil in a deep, wide frying pan until soft. Add the chipotle paste (use 1 tbsp for a mild flavour and 2 tbsp for a hotter, stronger one). Stir and cook for 1 min, then add the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins with the lid half on. Stir to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice and soured cream.
