Made the sauce last night and put it in the fridge. When I came home from work I cut 2 chicken breasts in half and pan fried them quickly while warming about 1/2 the sauce in the microwave. Poured the sauce over and topped with 1/2 round of the Mexican melting cheese and popped into the oven while I made some rice to go with it. The cheese melted and formed a nice brown crust and then I put the remaining 1/2 of the cheese on it and returned long enough to get it good and melted. DH loved it and asked for more sauce. He's a picky eater so this is a real high thumbs up to get his approval. He just wants me to pound the chicken thinner (I make chicken paillards for a lot of recipes) and he wants me to do it like I usually do which is dredge it lightly in flour before pan frying - all so that he has more surface to hold the sauce.
But I have to tell you the things I screwed up on - I decided to use cream instead of milk and 6 peppers because they were pretty small. Put them in the blender and had this horrible curdled looking mess. My cream turned to butter and was coating the pureed peppers. Once I heated it - that solved that problem but it looked REALLY horrible at first.
Then when I went to bed I thought my hands were freezing - actually they were burned. Poblanos usually don't bother me but I was also peeling some crawfish that were cooked with the crawfish boil (aka cayenne pepper). Even though I washed them good in between the two tasks, nothing stopped the burning until I found the aloe gel in DD's bathroom this morning - AFTER I showered and put my contact lenses in!
