I’m posting this mostly so I can find it in a big hurry. When a hurricane is coming in it’s a special occasion. Not just that we’re about to be flattened by Mother Nature, but we can actually enjoy comfort food. And since we’re likely to be without power for some time I like to feed my family at least one last decent meal.And since, as the National Hurricane Center so delicately puts it “all efforts to protect life should be urgently rushed to completion” my mind might be elsewhere. The ease of preparation fits the bill and the creamy rice (think risotto) and chicken taste great. I sometimes add canned peas or fresh broccoli and/or mushrooms. If you can find it, substitute Campbell’s Cream of Chile Poblano soup for a really different taste.
Our administrator thinks his mother is the best cook in the world. So when I mentioned that I’d had this great dish at a restaurant, and he mentioned that mole is so easy the way his mother does it, I needed the recipe. I’ve made it many times and maybe Carlos is right: his mother just might be the best cook! So simple, but tasty as all get out.
I’d forgotten this dish, but saw it on a menu in a new restaurant. Thought I’d give it a try one day. After the easy tamales came out so well that just translated to this perfectly. So simple! I served it over white rice. I used the copycat version of Lipton Soup Mix elsewhere on this site, it’s perfect.
The best way to get really moist roast chicken. Plus, it’s just too much fun. Spike or other poultry seasoning is better than salt and pepper.
From Food Network Magazine Sept 12 edition, works well. Without Pork Shoulder I used Pernil, which is a lean boneless cut, and which matches the recipe although the photo showed bone-in. I also substituted chicken broth for the white wine.
