New Mexico Green Chili Stew
Ingredients
- 2 cups red onions, chopped medium
- 1 pound tomatillos, chopped into quarters
- 1 cup of canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 large poblano pepper, seeded and diced
- 3 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 pounds of boneless chicken thigh or breast meat, diced into small cubes
- 6 cups chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 flour tortillas, warmed
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine the onions, tomatillos, diced tomatoes, poblano, jalapeños, and garlic with the olive oil.
- Spread vegetable mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast until the onions are soft and starting to brown (about 20 minutes). Stir twice in between to prevent burning.
- In a large oven pot, add the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pot and brown it in batches.
- Add the chicken stock, roasted vegetables and spices to the pot.
- Cover the pot and put it into the oven. Cook until the chicken is very tender (approximately 1½ hours).
- Remove the stew from the oven and add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cilantro and avocado, and serve with a side of tortillas to dip.
