Dinner Tonight: Chicken With Roasted Peppers And Salsa Verde Recipe
- 2 fresh poblano chiles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- Salt
- 1 large white onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Mexican crema, heavy cream, or creme fraiche
- Blacken the skin of the pobanos by sitting them over the burner on your stove. Turn regularly until evenly blackened, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plastic bag to steam for 15 minutes.
- Pour the oil into a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, and then place in the skillet. Cook until well browned, about 2 minutes a side. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, blend the tomatillos and cilantro. Pour this into the skillet when the onions are done. Cook until it is very thick, about 8 minutes.
- Add the broth, poblano strips, and the crema. Stir well, and season with a teaspoon of salt. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is completely cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the chile and onion sauce.
