Chilaquiles With Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread tortilla strips in an even layer on two large baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• In an extra-large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and oregano; cook about 3 minutes or until onion is softened, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes and chile pepper plus the reserved 1 teaspoon adobo sauce. Bring to boiling; cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add broth; return to boiling. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add chicken and black pepper; heat through.
• Set aside a few baked tortilla strips. Gradually stir the remaining tortilla strips into chicken mixture; heat through. Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and the reserved tortilla strips. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and milk; serve with the chilaquiles.

CHICKEN CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, stirring to break it into tiny pieces. Place the raw chicken into the skillet with the chorizo; cook and stir the meats together until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• Spread half of the tortilla chips over the bottom of a casserole dish; top the chips with the cooked chorizo and chicken mixture. Sprinkle the corn evenly over the meats and layer the remaining chips over the top. Whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream in a mixing bowl; pour over the top of the casserole. Top the casserole with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake the chilaquiles in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the chips begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHICKEN-ZUCCHINI CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the tortillas and cook, turning with tongs, until golden, about 3 minutes; drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Reduce the heat to medium and add the zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken, tomatillo salsa, 3/4 cup water and the cilantro; bring to a simmer and cook 2 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Spread half of the fried tortillas in an 8-inch-square flameproof baking dish. Top with about half of the chicken mixture and 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with the remaining tortillas, then the remaining chicken mixture and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with radishes, red onion and cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine oil and garlic in a large (3-to-4-quart) saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add tomatoes with their puree (breaking tomatoes up), chipotles and adobo, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Reduce heat and simmer rapidly until lightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add chicken and cook, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro.
• Divide chips among four shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, sour cream, and feta. Serve.

RED CHILAQUILES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, chiles, chopped onion and garlic in a blender, and blend until coarsely pureed.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or a wide saucepan over medium-high heat, and add a drop of the puree. It should sizzle. Add all of the tomato puree, and cook, stirring, for about five to ten minutes, until the sauce darkens, thickens and begins to stick to the pan. Add water or stock if the mixture seems dry, and season to taste with salt. Turn the heat to low, and simmer, stirring often, for about 15 minutes, until the sauce coats the front and back of a spoon. Taste and adjust salt.
• Stir in the chicken and heat through. Stir in the tortilla chips or pieces, stir together for a half minute, and remove from the heat. Spinkle the cheese, cilantro and sliced onion over the top, and serve.

• To make the fried tortilla strips, slice corn tortillas into thin strips.
• Fry in a large skillet of hot oil until light golden brown and crisp, watching carefully so they do not burn.

• To assemble the casserole, spread the corn strips on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish.
• Place the chicken on top and cover with the sauce, then top with cheese.

• Spread the sour cream over the top of the casserole and serve.

CHICKEN CHILAQUILES VERDES

Steps:

• Combine chicken breast, half of the salsa verde, chicken broth, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook until chicken is cooked through, on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours.
• Remove chicken from sauce and shred in a bowl with 2 forks. Return to the sauce in the slow cooker and mix to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmery. Cut tortillas into triangles; add tortilla triangles to the hot oil and cook, flipping every minute, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add shredded chicken, slow cooker sauce, and remaining salsa verde to tortillas. Mix and heat until everything is warmed through.
• Meanwhile, stir together sour cream and as much milk so sour cream can be drizzled.
• Remove tortilla mixture from the heat. Garnish with cotija cheese, cilantro, and drizzle with thinned sour cream mix.
