Chicken Green Chile Stew

[bethzaring]

I just saw where K-girl had asked for this recipe. What got this on my mind was ordering it at a restaurant recently. Most New Mexican restaurants here will offer a chicken green chile stew....but try to find a recipe for it in a cookbook!

So here is my version of this delicious stew/soup.

2T. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 can whole corn
1 can creamed corn

4 cloves garlic
1 T. coriander
1 1/2 t. cumin
1/4 t. paprika
1/4 t salt
1/4 t, black pepper

16 oz. green chile sauce
4 C. chicken stock
1 lime, juiced
3 to 4 cups pulled chicken

4 cups cooked diced potatoes with cooking water

Heat oil, add onion and corn. Add garlic and spices. Add chile sauce ( or add chopped green chiles) chicken stock, cooked potatoes, lime juice and chicken

This is how I wrote the recipe. Use your imagination for how long between the addition of the ingredients!

This sounds just delicious Beth. I'll be trying it soon. Thanks.

Craig makes this and it's delish. He makes it, then divides it and puts in hominy (posole) for me and potatoes for him. Hopefully, he'll post his version.

Sounds good, Beth. I make this, too, although I usually use three kinds of peppers that we grow, instead of green sauce: poblanos, Anaheims and jalapeños. I don't put in a starch, either. Potatoes or hominy sound like good additions. If I put in hominy, though, in my understanding, it becomes posole verde.

I want this!


Could you be more specific for,


16 oz. Green Chili Sauce?


Dang, round here, there is a whole grocery store shelf of green sauce!


everything from enchilada sauce, to Herdez Green Chili Salsa, whitch I think, is mostly Tomatillos.

My green chili sauce is made with poblanos (Hatch if available), onion, garlic, tomatillos, freshly toasted, ground cumin, chicken or pork stock, cilantro, S&P. I've never made green chili stew with chicken, as I prefer boneless Country Style pork ribs, but I do use this sauce for chicken enchiladas. All veges get roasted for the sauce.

Traditionally green chile stew is made with pork in these parts (Northern New Mexico). But for local benefits, street fairs, fundraisers, etc, you will always find frito pies and chicken green chile stew.

Here is the recipe I use to can my green chile sauce, AKA enchilada sauce.

This year I canned over 50 pints of this green chile sauce. I put a pint into every soup I make.

You can purchase this sauce in stores around here. Eric, I will look to see what company sells it. I don't see Herdez products here.

When I use this for enchiladas, I "fry" the sauce in Manteca and if needed add Masa to thicken.
