Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Poblano Peppers
  • 1 pound Chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 large Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and roast the poblano peppers on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until blistered and charred. Cover them with plastic wrap to steam for easier peeling.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté chopped onion with a pinch of salt for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add chicken pieces to the pot, cooking until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, then stir in cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Peel the roasted peppers, chop them, and add them along with heavy cream into the pot. Stir gently until combined and heated through.
