CHICKEN-STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS



Chicken-Stuffed Green Peppers image

Both for a family meal and for entertaining, this is a dish I serve frequently. It's very appealing to the eye, and people like the wild rice and the peppers. What I learned about cooking came from an expert - my husband! He's the real chef in the family. We have a 12-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. -Shelley Armstrong, Buffalo Center, Iowa

Categories     Chicken     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium     Low/No Sugar     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 3 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

~ 1 lb - skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 whole medium-sized red onion
1 6-oz can - chopped green chilis
1/4 cup drained pickled jalapeno peppers
2 cups (total) shredded Mexican Cheeses
~ 1/2 cup - El Phoenix hot sauce (though other salsas will substitute)
3 medium poblano peppers
3 large flour tortillas
1 28-oz can - El Paso Green Chili Enchilada Sauce
Garlic Powder
13" x 9" x 2" baking pan
Oven (convection if possible) preheated to 450 F.

Steps:

  • Core the stem and seeds, keeping the poblano peppers whole. Place poblano peppers on top rack of grill away from direct flame. Roast, turning frequently, while the skin blisters, but be careful it does not burn. When the skin evenly blisters and turns a light brownish color, remove and place in a tightly closed paper bag until ready to use (at least 10 min). They should be soft, but retain their shape. Next, take the boneless chicken thighs and coat with garlic powder, and grill on the cooler part of the flame, careful to turn them so that they are grilled but not charred. Cook until tender but slightly underdone. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. Place enough olive oil in a skillet to thinly coat the bottom. Cook the chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, green chilis, & garlic powder (to taste) over low heat until caramelized. After the ingredients have begun to caramelize, reduce heat and add El Phoenix hot sauce. This should reduce to a mush. After the poblanos have cooled, remove the blistered skin (should be easy). What should remain is an easy to handle, but somewhat rigid pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, and divide it into two piles, one slightly larger. Place a small amount of cheese, then 1/3 of the chicken from the smaller pile, some onion-tomato mix, and some cheese into each of the poblano peppers. Place chicken from the larger pile into a line in the center of the tortillas, with some of the onion-tomato mix, and some cheese. Roll them, leaving both ends open. Place in pan with peppers, leaving some space between the enchiladas. Set the enchiladas on their seams, so they do not unroll while baking. Pour the entire contents of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and poblanos, allowing the sauce to completely cover them. Take the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top of the entire mixture. Place in the preheated oven, and cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until done. Once finished, the meal should be hot, bubbling and roasted.
