Ingredients
- 3 large poblano peppers
- 3 slices white onion
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 4 (4-ounce) pieces
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup milk, 2% or whole
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup corn kernels, optional
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the broiler on high.
Step 2 -Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 3 -Place the poblano peppers, the onions, and the garlic on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4 -Broil the veggies until charred, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5 -Remove the veggies from the oven and lightly wrap them in aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
Step 6 -Season the chicken breasts with the salt and the pepper.
Step 7 -Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. They will not be fully cooked.
Step 8 -Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and keep them warm.
Step 9 -Clean the poblano peppers by removing the charred skins.
Step 10 -Make a slit from the top to the bottom of each pepper and remove the seeds and veins. Reserve 1/2 of one of the peppers, cutting the reserved piece into strips.
Step 11 -Place the remaining peppers, the white onions, the garlic, the heavy cream, the milk, and the chicken bouillon in a blender. Process until a creamy sauce forms.
Step 12 -Melt the butter in the same frying pan used for the chicken. Add the cream sauce and gently simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.
Step 13 -Add the chicken breasts and cook until they reach 165 degrees F internally, about 5-6 minutes. Make sure to keep the heat low so the sauce doesn't curdle.
Step 14 -Serve with the reserved pepper slices and the corn kernels.
