My sister and I both made this. She made it after me with my suggested changes/additions. We both thought it was wonderful - here it is with changes. We changed raw chiles to roasted, doubled the flour to two tablespoons and added the garlic and cilantro. Actually, she made the famous cilantro rice from this site and just added a tablespoon or so of the puree to her sauce. I used Mexican Crema. She had sour cream and whipping cream so she mixed the two. Very Yummy!

3 or 4 poblanos, roasted, seeded & chopped

1/2 cup milk

4 T. Butter, divided use

2 T. flour

1 clove or more minced garlic

1 T. minced cilantro.

1 cup Mexican Crema

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 cup shredded manchego, jack or mozarella (I'm using queso quesadilla)

Puree chiles with milk in blender

Make roux with 2 T. of butter & flour, cook until slightly brown

Stir in chile puree and cook until slightly thickened

Turn down heat and add crema, heat until it GENTLY simmers

Meanwhile, brown chicken in large skillet with 2 t. butter, 4 minutes to a side on medium high heat

Put in buttered baking dish, top with sauce and shredded cheese.

Bake at 350 for 20 - 30 minutes until chicken is done.

 
Copied and saved - thanks Melissa! How's the weather in Dallas today? My DD is in Austin.

 
your DD should call you so that you know that she isn't lying in a ditch somewhere, bleeding...

and give you a weather report for austin.

 
I think it's getting ready to be nasty. Snow moving in and temps dropping. Of course since we

rarely get bad weather nobody here can drive in it plus we don't have road equipment other than a few sanding trucks. Can you say screeching halt with wrecks everywhere?

 
take heart, Spring is just around the corner. Our zoo bear Jake is awake and wandering around this

week. He is always the harbinger of spring for us. We have no groundogs, just Jake the Bear.

 
HA! Just hadn't talked to her for a couple of days... my girls are sure good at calling...

But gee, THANKS for making a mother's heart go PITTY-PAT... if I have a heart attack, I'll blame it on you smileys/smile.gif

 
Dallas gets all the extremes... Austin seems to miss a lot of it. Gets a bit of snow, though.

 
I like lamb but I'd even take the schizophrenic right now. Although...is he cute? What a winter!

We live in a city that gets a marginal amount of snow, naormally. BUt this year has topped all records. We are all so depressed. And I speak for every person in the city except the snow plow operators who are hauling in the overtime on the city's overblown budget.

I just hope that one of the 10,000 snow storms that we had at the beginning of March would not be considered a lamb.

Let it be over!
