Cheesy Chicken Corn Stuffed Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut a long strip out of one side of each chile, keeping the stem and tip intact. Remove the seeds.
• 2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, corn, mozzarella and salsa. Divide the filling among the chiles; place on a baking sheet.
• 3. Roast until the chiles are tender and the filling is browned, about 25 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayo and 1 tsp. lime juice. Drizzle over the chiles. Sprinkle with the zest, paprika and cilantro.

Steps:

• Sauce: Put the tomatoes, garlic and onion in a blender. Blend until smooth. In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Chile rellenos: Mix the cheese and oregano in a small bowl. Cut a slit through 1 side of the charred chiles and fill each chile with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Close with toothpicks to hold the filling in place. In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and continue to beat for about 1 minute.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Dredge the filled chiles in flour until fully covered. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the chiles into the egg mixture, until well coated. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
• Arrange the chiles on a serving platter, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Steps:

• While using gloves, wash the poblano chilies and using a sharp paring knife, cut a slit lengthwise from stem to tip of chile leaving stem in tact.
• Carefully cut away the seeds and membrane rinse the inside of the chilies and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, add chopped onions and garlic.
• Cook until onions begin to turn golden, stirring frequently.
• Add the diced chicken, sprinkle with seasoning salt and cook until chicken is almost cooked through; add tomato and mushrooms, continue to cook until chicken is done.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• With remaining tablespoon olive oil, lightly oil the outside of the chilies and place them cut side up in casserole dish.
• Pack the chicken mixture into chilies and push cheese into mixture along the slit.
• Cover dish, place in preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes; remove cover the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
• Serve on top of a bed of saffron rice.

Steps:

• I like to cook the chicken breasts in a crock pot as they are tender and easy to shred.
• Roast the poblanos either under the broiler on the grill until at least half of the skin is charred black.
• Place the chiles in a zip-lock bag and let steam for about 20 minutes.
• Prepare enchilada sauce.
• Carefully remove the outer skin from the chiles.
• Cut a slit in the chiles and carefully remove the seeds. Don't be overly concerned about the peppers splitting.
• Mix the chicken with 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder and one half of the cheese.
• Stuff the chiles.
• Spray a casserole dish with vegetable spray and place the peppers in the dish.
• Cover with remaining sauce and cheese.
• Bake in a 375°F oven until the peppers are heated through and the cheese is melted (about 20 minutes).
