Green Chile Stew Recipe



Home alone one night I decided to put together a Chile Stew for the following evenings dinner. One is always told that stews are always better the next day. This recipe is a combination of several peoples good stews plus my secret ingredient....

3 LBS - Chicken Breast
4 Small Snack Size bags of frozen chopped green chile (we process our own every year - but one can use what is readily available)

Salt, Pepper and garlic powder to taste
14.5 OZ can of crushed tomato
5-8 good sized potatoes
Two Boulillion Cubes (Poultry in this case)
Secret Ingredient :)

Begin with dicing the chicken into small cubes - using a Dutch Oven or deep pan(pot should be able to accomodate all ingredients) - Season the raw chicken with the garlic powder, salt and pepper - to your taste and brown. When the chicken has reached your desired state - add the diced potatoes(cut to your size preference) and stir thoroughly, to that add the thawed and diced green chile - once again stir thoroughly over the heat for approximately 30 seconds or more - followed by adding the can of diced tomatoes and its juice. Finally top off with filtered water to just above the top of your ingredients. Bring to a boil and add your bouillion cubes - lower the heat and simmer partially covered for approximately 1.5 hours or until your potatoes are tender and cooked.

I like to serve with warm flour tortillas. - ENJOY!!!!
