La Fogata Green Chicken Enchiladas

La Fogata Green Chicken Enchiladas

Green Chicken Enchiladas



1/4 pound tomatillos, quartered
2 whole chicken breasts
1/2 cup water
Lightly salted water
1 whole clove garlic
1 cup chicken stock
2 serrano chiles
1 cup peanut oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 corn tortillas
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup cilantro leaves, loosely packed
1 pound mozzarella cheese, grated
Chicken stock, if needed



Boil tomatillos in water with garlic, chiles, salt and pepper until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Puree cooked sauce in blender to liquefy. While blending, add washed cilantro leaves; set aside.

The sauce yield is about 2 1/2 cups. It will thicken upon standing and you may need to thin with chicken stock.

Simmer chicken in lightly salted water until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool. Chicken will be slightly under-cooked. Shred cooked chicken and then, just prior to serving, heat in 1 cup chicken stock. This will heat chicken without overcooking.

In medium skillet, heat oil to 300 degrees F. Pass tortillas into hot oil for a few seconds to soften and seal. Remove carefully and set aside between paper towels. Do this just prior to assembly.

Fill softened tortillas with shredded chicken and 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce. Roll up and place seam side down in casserole. Pour green sauce over top and garnish with sour cream and cheese. Place in 375 degree F oven for 5 to 8 minutes or just long enough to melt cheese.

NOTE: Sauce may be made a day in advance, but the dish is best when chicken is freshly prepared. Yield: 6 servings

Recipe for Kevi's Miss Piggy Mustard Sauce

Kevi's Miss Piggy Mustard Sauce

From the kitchen of Kevin Taylor, the BBQ Guru

My personal favorite...it's pretty hot and very thick. To thin, just add more vinegar. To cut the heat, just adjust the hot sauce and the cayenne.

1 cup mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar, light
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce, dark
2 tablespoons butter

Combine all ingredients except soy sauce and butter. Add the vinegar last. Add to your desired thickness.

Simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and add butter and soy sauce.
