Tinga Poblana De Pollo Recipes

Steps:

• Poach chicken: In a saucepan, add chicken and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 pinches salt, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until opaque and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, make Tinga Sauce.
• Tinga Sauce: In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until smoking, 2 minutes. Add the onions (you should hear a sizzle when they hit the pan). Stir until lightly caramelized, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, and chicken stock in a blender. Purée on medium speed until smooth, 30 seconds; then add tomato mixture to the onions. Stir and simmer, 5 minutes.
• Remove chicken from poaching liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred by hand and add to Tinga Sauce. Check for seasoning, and add salt to taste (Chef Cámara adds 2-3 teaspoons). Simmer, 5 more minutes.
• Assembly: Divide Chicken Tinga evenly among the tortillas. Garnish each with an avocado slice and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery and carrots in a large saucepan and add 4 cups cold water. Add more water if needed to cover the solids. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bones, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, then pull the meat into very fine shreds. Strain the broth and reserve for Tamales de Pollo or another use.
• While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. While the onion cooks, puree the tomatoes, chipotles and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken to the sauce and gently fold to evenly coat and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately or cool to room temperature to use a filling for Tamales de Pollo.

Steps:

• Over a medium heat, bring the chicken, salt, pepper and garlic powder, with water to cover, to a simmer for 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow the chicken to cool in the water, until you are able to handle it.
• Remove the skin and coarsely shred the meat; set aside.
• Over a high heat, in a sauté pan, char and blister tomatoes on all sides. Do not use oil.
• Remove from heat and add the chicken stock and chipotles.
• Cool; pour into a blender, puree until smooth; Set aside.
• Put the chorizo and onions in a stockpot, cook over medium heat.
• When the chorizo releases some of its oil, add the diced potatoes; reduce heat to low; cook until the potatoes have browned and slightly tender.
• Add cumin, oregano, pepper, shredded chicken and the pureed tomato mixture; simmer 10 minutes.
• Add salt to taste.
• Serve in deep bowls, top with avocado and cheese, with a side of corn tortillas and Mexican beer.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes with chipotle peppers and adobo sauce to taste. Pour into the onions, and add chicken. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• To serve, mound the chicken onto tostada shells, and garnish with a dollop of sour cream.
