Pollo A La Crema (Creamy Chicken) w/Homemade Mexican Rice

-


I had this dish at a restaurant recently and loved it so much I had to recreate it myself.  I only used a recipe for the rice.  The creamy chicken part was just me trying it out and making it work!

For the Mexican rice you will need 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice (not minute rice), 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 1/2 cup water.

For your creamy chicken you will need 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 good sized chicken breasts (cut up into bite sized pieces), 1/4 chopped onion, 4 oz mushrooms (drained well), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 4 oz sour cream and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese.

In a large skillet heat your 3 tablespoons oil.  Once warm add your 1/4 cup chopped onions.  After about 5 minutes of cooking your onions add your 1 cup uncooked long grain rice, stirring very frequently.  Your rice  will puff up a little but not a lot.
Stir in your 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup water, stir well.  Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring once half way through.
Once done stir once more.

Place in a bowl, cover and set aside.
Rinse out your large skillet.  Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Cut up 2 good sized chicken breasts into bite sized pieces, start cooking, you will want to add your 1/4 cup chopped onions at this time also.  When chicken is about done add 4 oz drained mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Once your chicken is fully done add in your 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 4 oz sour cream and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, stir well.  Cover and let simmer 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally. 
First plate your rice then pour some of your creamy chicken over and ENJOY!!

To your dry mix add 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons Liquid Smoke (pictured above), Mix well.  Add 2 tablespoons mustard seed and 2 pounds of beef. Mix well - I use my hands as you can make sure it is mixed up really good.  If you do use your hands you will want to have some paper towels handy. Separate out the mixture into 6 equal sized balls (will be close to the size of a softball). One at a time place a ball in  your hand and form into a loaf/rectangle shape.  Place on a piece of foil - shiny side in. Fold over the foil, long way first. Fold over the edges of the foil and roll/fold up to the edges of your loaf. Do the same folding and rolli...
