How to Make Ingrid Hoffmann's Chicken Tinga Poblana

This classic Mexican stew from Puebla, Mexico, is intensely rich in flavor and spices. It hits the spot every time. Serve either inside a tortilla or over a bowl of brown rice or quinoa and enjoy! For a different take on this dish, substitute lean pork loin for the chicken.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Place the chicken, bay leaves, and enough cold water to cover in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes; drain. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let cool, then shred with two forks. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes, 1/4 cup cilantro, chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, vinegar, garlic, thyme, marjoram, and salt in a food processor or blender.
  3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato mixture and the shredded chicken. Cook, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chicken is heated through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp cilantro.

It was pretty good! I didn't have marjoram so I used oregano as suggested and we didn't like that. It was oddly overpowering. I would try making it again without it and I think we would like it better. I used a 7 ounce can of peppers in adobo sauce and used the whole thing. I would definitely do that again. I also only used half an onion because a whole one seemed like a lot, but next time I will use the whole onion.

Very tasty! Full of flavor! I didn’t blend the ingredients in the blender as I like tomatoes and all. I chopped up the peppers. The instructions were clear. The dish was visually appealing. I would definitely make it again!
