BONNIE'S CHICKEN ENCHILADAS A LA CREMA
This is a delicious Mexican dish with a decadent rich cream sauce covering the enchiladas and a topping of monterey jack cheese, garnished with green onions and red pepper slivers. The chicken which is simmered in peppers, onions and spices creates the filling for these enchiladas and is seasoned just right. You won't be able to...

Steps:
- 1. NOTE: Please read the recipe through before you begin. The chicken takes 45 minutes to an hour to prepare, and it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to bake.
- 2. Place chicken tenders in a single layer, 12 inch skillet. Sprinkle peppers, tomato, onion, garlic, salt and cumin, add stock or broth. Heat over medium high heat to boiling, reduce heat to low. Simmer covered until chicken is very tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Check the broth to make sure seasoning is to your liking.
- 3. Remove chicken pieces from the skillet with tongs and shake off the pieces of vegetables. Spread chicken out on a cutting board to cool so it can be handled.
- 4. Heat the mixture in the skillet , simmer gently over medium high heat stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. You will need 1 1/4 cups of this liquid. Drain and reserve the liquid and then transfer it to a 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
- 5. Now tear the chicken with your hands into coarse shreds. (don't shred with a fork. I save the vegetables and freeze them to add to soups. )
- 6. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the cream in a medium skillet over medium heat until just below boiling. Remove from heat.
- 7. I use a pie plate to put my dipped tortillas in so I can fill them with chicken without a mess. Using tongs dip one tortilla in the hot cream until it is limp, a few seconds, remove draining off excess cream, place in pie pan and fill with about 3 tablespoons of chicken down the center of each dipped tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down on sauce in the baking dish. After I have dipped a couple of tortillas, I put the heat on under the cream and turn it to simmer to keep it hot. It makes the tortillas fold easier if the cream is warm.
- 8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken. Now pour the remaining cream evenly over the enchiladas.
- 9. Sprinkle enchiladas evenly with the cheese. Bake in the 375 degree oven until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Don't overcook because it will tear up your tortillas. If you want it more brown than my photo, consider putting it under the broiler the last few minutes. Garnish with green onion and red pepper slivers. Enjoy!
- 10. Cook's tip: My husband does not like traditional enchilada sauce. I have found this last week that there are several people on this site who do not like it either. This recipe is for you!
CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE, GUACAMOLE AND LIME CREMA
I am a HUGE fan of the Mexican kitchen! This recipe is tasty, delicious and packed with flavor. The ingredients are readily available at most stores, and although the recipe has several steps it is very "doable" even for beginner cooks. These chicken enchiladas can also be done with pork or just veggies and ALWAYS provides LOTS of deliciousness!!!

Steps:
- For the enchiladas: Add the cumin seeds to a large, dry saute pan. Heat over medium-low and toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 5 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and process until finely ground.
- Season the chicken thighs liberally with kosher salt. Add the olive oil to a large, high-sided saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, slice into strips and set aside.
- Add the onion and a splash of beer to deglaze and release the chicken bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir to combine and cook until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the jalapeno and continue to cook until the onions and jalapeno are soft, another 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic, cilantro stems, sliced chicken, the remaining beer, toasted ground cumin and chipotle powder. Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the pan, then drop the squeezed lime halves directly into the pan. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning with kosher salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the chicken stock. Continue to cook until the chicken starts to pull apart and most of the liquid has cooked away but the pan still has some moisture, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the lime halves and discard.
- For the salsa verde: Preheat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tomatillos and jalapeno onto the pan and roast, turning occasionally on all sides, until soft and charred, 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice the jalapeno in half and remove half the seeds (or leave the seeds in if you prefer a more spicy salsa verde). Add the garlic, cilantro, roasted tomatillos and jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil and kosher salt to taste to a blender and puree until smooth.
- For the guacamole: Combine the avocado, tomato, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, lime zest and lime juice in a bowl and mash together but leave some texture. The guacamole should be chunky.
- For the crema: Mix the crema, lime zest and lime juice together in a bowl.
- To assemble, preheat the oven to broil. Scoop 1/4 cup salsa verde into the bottom of 4 small baking dishes and use a spatula to evenly distribute. Warm the corn tortillas on the cast iron griddle over medium heat until slightly toasty and pliable. Scoop about 1/4 cup of chicken filling into each tortilla and roll. Place into the baking dish, seam-side down, and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, using 2 tortillas per serving dish. Top each with another 1/4 cup sauce, 1/2 cup Monterey jack and the crumbled cotija. Transfer to the oven and broil until the cheese is bubbly and melted, about 5 minutes. Serve with the guacamole and crema.
CHICKEN A LA CREMA
Chicken a la crema is one of my favorite recipes and one of the greatest chicken recipes of all time. It's simple to make, incredibly comforting, and gorgeous to look at. Sauteed mushrooms and onions are well browed to add extra flavor and give the sauce a beautifully rich color. Spoon this into a bowl alongside rice and top with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of cilantro, or wrap it up in a fresh, warm tortilla and dunk it in the sauce--no matter how you serve it, this dish should be on every chicken lover's bucket list.

Steps:
- Brown chicken in olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat until nice and dark on both sides and fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium and add onion, mushrooms, and salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chili powder, cayenne, black pepper, cumin, dried oregano, garlic, and poblano peppers. Cook and stir until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and bay leaf; stir and increase heat to high. Stir in 1 cup creme fraiche and fresh oregano and bring to a simmer. Add chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot, nestling them into the broth so they are covered. Reduce heat to low or medium-low to maintain a gentle, steady simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Use tongs to carefully transfer chicken to a bowl and let cool enough to handle. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook until braising liquids have reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off fat from the surface as it cooks.
- Meanwhile, remove and discard skin and bones from chicken (or save to make stock). Break up the meat into large or small pieces and save any edible drippings.
- Reduce heat to low and add chicken meat and drippings to the sauce. Simmer until chicken has absorbed the flavor from the sauce, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in chopped cilantro and remaining creme fraiche. Taste to adjust salt and seasonings.

POLLO A LA CREMA
My favorite dish at our local Mexican Restaurant. Chicken, mushrooms & onions in a spicy cream sauce, YUM! Very rich, but so delish! A real comfort food. I have been playing with the recipe for some time, just trying to get close to what they serve. I think I'm finally as close as I can get. 5/30/08 Update: If you can find Mexican Crema (dairy case at my grocer) it is thicker and works better than cream. This is also good served over rice or noodles. ***I discovered that my Paprika had gotten old and lost strength, when I bought new, I also had to reduce the amount. The recipe now reflects the reduced amount.
