Poblano Cream Sauce

A lot of people prefer to eat it with chicken, particularly as its flavor is on the softer side in the most complimentary of ways. With this in mind, it's sure to satisfy the whole family and perhaps leave them cleaning out their plates with a piece of bread. When you try chicken poblano at a restaurant you may find yourself under the impression that it most likely would be a complicated dish to prepare, not only to get the flavor right but the texture as well. However, it really has more to do with having all the right ingredients more than knowing how to cook them once you get them over the stove. Most people rely on a blender to mix them all together to get the right consistency that's required.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 poblano chiles
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 /3 sliced onion
  • 1/2 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of whipping cream
  • Salt and Pepper

Equipment

  • Paper bag
  • Knife
  • Frypan
  • blender
  • spoon

Method
 

  1. Roast the chiles on the stove until they turn dark.

  3. Now, remove the seeds and peel the chiles-
  4. Cut the chiles in small pieces.
  5. Once you melt the butter in the frypan, fry the cloves of garlic and the sliced onion for 5 minutes. Add the cream and the chicken broth. You need to consistently stir these ingredients inside the frypan.
  6. This includes a compounded process of increasing and decreasing the heat of the stove. The idea behind it is that you need to thicken the sauce. On the bright side, this sauce will gain thickness pretty quickly, in about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the chiles and let all the ingredients simmer for one to two minutes.
