Ingredients

  • Fresh tomatillos, about 1 pound, with husks removed
  • Poblano peppers, around 1 pound in weight
  • A drizzle of flavorful olive oil
  • Approximately 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of high-quality olive oil
  • Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, roughly 2 pounds, cut into cubes
  • One medium white onion, finely diced
  • Around 4 cups of rich chicken broth
  • Serrano peppers, 2 pieces, chopped finely (if desired)
  • 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon of fragrant ground cumin
  • About 2 teaspoons of chipotle chile powder
  • Salt added to your taste preference
  • Optionally, a quarter cup of cornmeal

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 400 degrees Fahrenheit (around 200 degrees Celsius) to set the stage for culinary magic. In a roasting pan, lovingly arrange the tomatillos and poblanos, then drizzle them with a generous amount of olive oil, ensuring every nook and cranny gets a taste. Pop this flavorful duo into the preheated oven, allowing the poblanos to char and darken for approximately 45 minutes, releasing tantalizing aromas that will have your taste buds dancing in anticipation. Once done, tenderly remove the pan from the oven and grant it a brief 10-minute respite to cool down, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify.

Step 2

Gently peel off the skins from the roasted poblanos, unveiling their smoky essence, and transfer them to the welcoming embrace of an electric blender alongside the tomatillos. With a splash of water, blend this verdant medley until it achieves a velvety smooth consistency, a vibrant green symphony ready to elevate your dish to new heights.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, setting the stage for a sizzling performance. Saute the chicken and onion in this fragrant oil until the onions turn translucent and the chicken acquires a golden-brown hue, a process that takes around 5 to 7 minutes. It's time to introduce the star of the show – the blended poblano and tomatillo mixture, along with chicken broth, serrano peppers, garlic, a hint of cumin, a touch of chipotle powder, and a pinch of salt. Allow these harmonious ingredients to come together in a flavorful crescendo.

Step 4

As the mixture reaches a gentle boil, lower the heat to a soothing medium-low, letting it simmer and meld flavors for about an hour, infusing the chicken with the essence of the earthy peppers and spices. To add a comforting thickness to the stew, stir in a sprinkle of cornmeal, letting it work its magic and bind the flavors together in a symphony of textures.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Organize your pantry with clear containers to easily spot those key ingredients like hominy and green chiles.
  2. 2. Utilize hanging storage for dried herbs and spices to keep them fresh and easily accessible.
  3. 3. Invest in stackable storage containers for easy grab-and-go access to ingredients like onions and garlic.
