Aunt Mary's was a popular brunch restaurant in San Francisco that served Mexican and Salvadoran dishes. My wife and I went every Sunday for a late breakfast. She always ordered Huevos Rancheros; my usual was Pollo en Crema.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 pound) whole chicken
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 red peppers, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced into rings
1 onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine chicken (breast-side up), chicken broth, water, Mexican crema, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Turn chicken over using a pair of tongs. Cover stockpot and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from mixture and set aside.
  • Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into serving-size pieces and return to stockpot; stir in chopped cilantro and cook until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
