Grilled Cumin Chicken With Fresh Tomatillo Sauce

Fri, 08 May 2009 02:29:34 -0400

I found this dish in Cooking Light Magazine. They suggested you serve it with chipotle rice. Combine 1 cup long-grain rice and 2 cups fat-free less-sodium chicken broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions and 1/2 teaspoon minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce. -- posted by macygirl09

Pipián Verde Con Pollo (Chicken in Green Pumpkin Seed Sau

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:20:24 -0400

From Epicurious.com. Very traditional mesoamerican ingredients combine for a rich textured dish typical of Puebla, Mexico. This is a mild, layered sauce. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to make it your own - you can omit the cilantro, choose a hotter or milder chile, or remove the chicken skin and bones before serving. Most of the sauce preparation takes place while the chicken is simmering. For a quick meal after a long day, the chicken and the sauce can also be made ahead of time, with the final steps of the dish taking only a few minutes to heat and assemble. -- posted by realbirdlady

Enchiladas Verdes

Wed, 13 May 2009 01:15:27 -0400

After watching this episode of America's Test Kitchen, I had to make this! I used canned tomatillos and poblano chiles (28 oz. can) and it tasted wonderful! So fresh and delicious! I didn't think it was too spicy, even using Pepper Jack cheese. Here are the comments from their original recipe: "You can substitute three 11-ounce cans of tomatillos, drained and rinsed, for the fresh ones in this recipe. Halve large tomatillos (more than 2 inches in diameter) and place them skin-side up for broiling to ensure even cooking and charring. If you cant find poblanos, substitute 4 large jalapeño chiles (with seeds and ribs removed). To increase the spiciness of the sauce, reserve some of the chiles ribs and seeds and add them to the food processor." -- posted by Pismo

Rachael Ray's Mexican Lasagna

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:19 -0400

Rachael must love her Mexican lasagna because she has several versions. I found this highly-rated recipe on the Food Network. This is broken into simple steps. The spinach flavored tortillas really make this something special. If you like spicy foods, be adventurous and try Jalapeno Cheddar tortillas. *NOTE* If you plan to have leftovers, the reviewers recommend serving the tortillas on the side and not layering with them. The tortillas get will be soggy after sitting in the refrigerator. Doing that makes assembly a snap! :) -- posted by Kat's Mom

Mexican Chicken Lasagna

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:38:46 -0400

I first had this at a pot luck at work. Got the recipe from a friend but decided it needed some tweaking. You may add as much heat as you like or keep it toned down. Add taco toppings too if you like when serving. It does take a little work but in the end it pays off. Note: You won't use all the reserved broth. There is a large amount saved just to make sure you have enough. The chicken soup in this recipe is the creamy color one not the yellow. In place of the chips you can use taco shells broken in halves. Or you can use the Corn tortillas, omit softening them. Using the chips give more corn flavor. Prep time does not include prep time for chickens. -- posted by KGCOOK

Chicken Tacos

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:25:56 -0400

This recipe comes from a favorite new cook book "The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner". Our family has never been that overwhelmed with chicken tacos until we tried this recipe. The kids were fighting over this meat mixture and have demanded that it be put on our monthly tried and trues. The only thing I did to change the recipe was to add just a bit of chicken taco seasoning that I had in the cabinet from Penzey Spice Company. Don't know if it really needed it, I just wanted to try my new spice. -- posted by Ridgely

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:41:23 -0400

I live in southern New Mexico. Our cuisine is far different than that of northern New Mexico (ie, Santa Fe, Taos, etc.). Las Cruces, or Hatch really, is the chile growing capital of the world. Whenever we have pot lucks at work or partys, my green chile enchiladas are always requested. If it is going to be an especially large group, I leave out the chicken and just make several trays of green chile cheese enchiladas. Just for clarification, "CHILI' is that soup dish made with hamburger meat and beans that is popular in Texas, while "CHILE" is the spicy vegitable that makes mexican food so great. Green chile and red chile come from the same plant. Green chile is harvested when ripe, and red chile is from chile left on the vine or tied up in RISTRAS to dry out and become red chile. When I was in college in Odessa, they didn't have descent green chile, they used tomatillos instead. I did not like that at all, so I substituted fresh jalapenos instead. They were hot, but my west Texas buddies ate them all up (of course sweating out the jalapenos the whole time). -- posted by New Mexican Rob

Chicken Puffy Tacos

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:53:49 -0400

Almost everyone I know rants and raves about "Chicken Puffy Tacos!" The "puffy" part of the name comes from using fried flour tortillas instead of crispy corn or plain flour, but what makes these tacos irrestible is the meat. I personally love the meat in a folded and fried flour tortilla w/ cheese, guacomole, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. *I've also used simply 4-5lb of frozen chicken breasts for this recipe as well, but the whole chicken (with skin and bone) makes it much better. -- posted by Rocky Walls

Crock-Pot Mexican Orange Chicken (Pollo Con Naranja)

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:33:33 -0400

My husband had open-heart surgery when we were living on the Texas-Mexican border in 2001. The wife of his heart-surgeon, Velda de La Garza, wrote a heart-healthy Mexican cookbook (*Healthy Mexican Cooking*), which we purchased while he was in the hospital. This dish is one of our favorites -- an easy Mexican take on that old favorite, Orange Chicken. We found it needed a little more spice than called for; you could either up the cayenne or leave the jalapeno seeds in. But then we like spicy food! -- posted by L'ecole

Red Star Basic Chicken Taco Filling

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:59:15 -0400

This is a basic chicken taco filling from our Colorado Red Star Acres ranch kitchen in that can be used for tacos, enchiladas and so much more. You can easily modify this to taste and/or adapt for other uses e.g. a mexican-style chicken salad, soup, chili, etc. The spiciness can easily be adjusted to taste by the spiciness of the green chiles used. You can also add jalepenos and/or red pepper flakes during cooking to add heat. I usually double this batch and then freeze half for later. -- posted by Chef #954676

Michele's Chicken Tortilla Soup

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:11:18 -0400

I used to go to a local Mexican restaurant all the time for this soup. I finally decided I needed to learn to make it because eating out was costing me way too much ;) I looked through several recipes for the soup, combined some, and then tweaked until I came up with a recipe that was close to that of my favorite Mexican place. This is quick and easy and I usually get rave reviews when I make this for a crowd. I hope you enjoy it! :) PS. This soup has a mild heat. If you like it spicier, add a can of chopped chilies or a diced jalepeno. I've also substituted the Rotel tomatoes with a really good chunky salsa when I couldn't find them. And I like to garnish with a lime wedge. -- posted by Michele105

Taken directly from "Mexican Cooking" by Carolyn Dehnel. This is a regular in our house served with Arroz Blanco although I usually use a whole can of tinned chopped tomatoes as its quicker and easier.

The plantain can be substituted with a firm banana cut into 2.5 cm slices but only add it in the last 5 mins otherwise it will disintegrate. -- posted by Lou van

Crock-Pot Cheesy Mexican Chicken and Rice

A delicious combination of cheese, chicken, salsa and rice. I created this recipe when I needed to make dinner in the crockpot because my husband was redoing the floors in the kitchen and I had no stove to use. Thanks to him a new chicken recipe was born. I use my homemade canned salsa but any salsa will do. Also, we mostly eat chicken breast, but you can use any type of chicken. The cooking time will need adjusted longer for dark meat or chicken on the bone. There are several variations for this recipe such as adding beans, corn, mushrooms, etc. The possibilities are endless. -- posted by CrissyJ76

Chef Pachuco's Chicken Tortilla Soup

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:38:06 -0400

The other day, I had a hard time trying to get out of my wife what she may like for dinner. I had gone to the store to get ingredients to make a boring yet delicious butternut squash soup, but decided that I didn't want to make it. As I sat in my car in the parking lot of our local grocery store, I had remembered weeks earlier about my wife saying something about a tortilla soup that she had tried a while ago. I myself have tried the soup, but having already left the house, I had no way of looking up another recipe. After a few more minutes of thinking, I went into the store, bought a bunch of ingredients, came home and started cooking. What follows is the result. I hope you enjoy it as we did, just two nights ago. -- posted by Chef Pachuco

Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:53:33 -0500

A friend made mole for a pot luck one time and I really liked the unusual flavor so I decided to attempt to make it myself and it turned out really well! We ate ate it spooned into corn tortillas, but I imagine it would be even better over rice since it's kind of runny and hard to hold in the tortillas. -- posted by Irishgal523

My creation based on Enchilada Chicken Soup, Recipe #40458. The two sauces was actually the result of a mistake, but it turned out very tasty. My husband thinks it's too spicy, though. -- posted by SashasMommy

Chilaquiles for a Crowd...from Rick Bayless

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:56:59 -0500

I fell in love with Chilaquiles while on a trip to Cancun. I recently found this recipe from Rick Bayless, and I am thrilled to have it! I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure that it is to die for like everything else he does. I've posted it here for safe keeping. When I do make it, I will probably scale it down for just the two of us. update; This was amazing! Just like I remembered! I made this today and used 1 jar of the salsa and 1 cup of chicken broth. I also bought a package of refrigerated corn tortillas. I cut into 9ths pizza style, and fried them in oil. I used 18 tortillas. I used a mexican queso fresco, a mexican crumbling fresh farmers type cheese for the garnish. Totally delish! My scaled down verson would feed 4 to 6 as a main dish, or maybe 10 as a side. -- posted by Not-2-Sweet

Smoky Chicken and Chorizo Mexican Enchilada Baked Casserole

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:54:15 -0500

This recipe was made from leftovers and has been requested again ALREADY by Malcolm, my husband! Cooked chicken is mixed with smoky, hot chorizo sausage and folded through a chipotle chilli tomato sauce..........sounds too hot?! I then added some sweet corn, sour cream and a jar of mild salsa to calm it down a bit, but please DO use hot salsa if you like a little spice in your life! I topped this with a dollop of sour cream and dressed it with chopped jalapeno peppers, parsley and a little chopped coriander (cilantro) for a perfect cold weather lunch. I devised this recipe especially for the Two for One Leftovers event in the Cooking Photo's Forum. Please adjust the chilli powder to your own requirements. I like spicy food but Malcolm does not, so I topped mine with loads of chopped jalapeno peppers and a sprinkling of chipotle chilli powder!! NB: I used Spanish chorizo sausage, which is cured; if you are using fresh chorizo sausage, it needs to be browned beforehand.(I made this original recipe with leftovers from KissKiss's Recipe #368069. However, ANY cooked chicken will do for this!) -- posted by French Tart

Full of Flavor Taco Chicken

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:34:17 -0500

This recipe is my boyfriend's absolute favorite dinner that I make. I gave the recipe to my parents and they've made it twice in one week and my dad doesn't even like tacos!!! I usually just buy the hard shell taco kit because the seasoning is already included. It's so juicy and full of flavor, you'll love it!!! I list my portions for 2 so just multiply if you are serving for more people. Even though I have an accounting degree it's always easier to multiply ingredients than divide :p -- posted by KeLynn

Ww Chicken Tortilla Soup Without the Tortillas

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:27:41 -0500

This is my response to craving mexican food but not being able to have the calories. This soup is very filling and low points- 6 1/2 for the whole recipe. You can control the heat of this recipe by the type of salsa you add- I usually use mild. Whatever heat you choose, it should be fresh salsa so the cilantro and other flavours are strong enough. If you really like it hot, add some chillies! I like to chop the ingredients fairly small for this recipe so you get an even flavour balance in every bite. -- posted by Shuzbud

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395
