Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Kg Boneless Chicken Breast
or Boneless Thigh * - 1 Tbsp Chicken Bouillon *
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 225g Package Cream Cheese, Softened
- 5 Poblano Peppers
- 1 Large onion, Thickly Sliced
- 1 Cup Drained Canned Sweet Corn Kernels
- Salt and Pepper
- Vegetable Oil
* Exclude for Vegetarian
Method
- Cut the chicken into strips. Preheat the saucepan on medium-high, add the oil and then add the chicken and saute until it's cooked through (approx 10 min). Season with salt and pepper.
- Blend the sour cream, cream cheese, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth; set aside.
- Place the peppers on a large griddle over medium-high heat. Roast until the skin blisters and turns black. Remove peppers from the griddle and place in a plastic bag, allowing them to sweat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Peel and discard the outer skin of the peppers; halve lengthwise and remove the seeds and veins. Slice into strips. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the corn into the onions, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the poblano strips and the chicken strips to the saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables and the chicken and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes more.
Familia's Chef Tips
- This recipe goes very well with rice, and is even better with homemade tacos.
- If the cream/cheese mixture is too thick, you can make it lighter by adding a little milk.
- For Vegetarians, skip the chicken and the chicken bouillon
