Chicken with Poblano Peppers and Cream

I’m almost positive that this recipe for chicken with poblano peppers and cream is going to rock your socks!

If you’ve never had a roasted poblano pepper then you are in for a treat.  Roasting a poblano pepper not only facilitates removing the tough outer skin of the pepper, it also adds an irresistible smokey flavor to any recipe. At the moment, I am lucky enough to have a gas stove, so I turn the flame to low and place my peppers directly on the burner, turning the pepper so the entire surface blackens.

Poblano peppers can also be roasted on a very hot comal, directly under the broiler or even on a gas grill. Then, they steam in a covered bowl for several minutes until you’re ready to peel off and discard the charred skin. At this point they can hang out in the fridge for about 5 days until needed.

Poblano Peppers for roasting

If I’ve piqued your curiosity about roasting poblano peppers, and you should be roasting and peeling them before preparing or serving, I have an authentic recipe for low carb Chile Rellenos and a recipe for Banglalore Chicken Curry that call for roasted poblano peppers. Go take a look if they sound good to you, I’ll wait. Oh, for the record, these tasty peppers are as great with beef as they are with chicken.

Chicken with Poblano Peppers and Cream

This chicken poblano recipe has been a long time in the making. I’ve made it over 8 times the last several months and it has tasted amazing each and every time. The only problem with the dish lies with the inexperienced blogger behind the camera. Gah! I try so hard.

Not one round of photography has resulted in the perfect picture – one highlighting the lusciously silky texture of the rich cream sauce juxtaposed with the cut strips of roasted dark green poblano peppers. Not one! I even tried preparing the dish by pureeing the peppers into the sauce. It was also tasty, but not as interesting texture-wise. So, I just don’t know what to do and I MUST share this recipe.

Chicken with Poblano Peppers and Cream

You’ll have to trust me when I tell you that this dish is just as extraordinary as the Salmon in Bacon Vodka Cream Sauce I shared several months ago, or even the Pan Seared Chicken with Sauce. We’re talking restaurant quality gourmet dishes in 30 minutes at home. I served recipe for chicken with cheesy cauliflower mash. Using an orange variety of cauliflower results in an amazing buttery-golden color.

This amazing Chicken with Poblano Peppers and Cream is 5 net carbs per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless-skinless chicken filets
  • 2 medium roasted poblano peppers ** cut into strips
  • 3 1/2 ounces medium onion sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 large clove garlic, sliced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peppers: Roast the poblano peppers until all sides are blackened. If you have a gas stove, place them right on the burner over medium-low heat, turning and re-positioning until the are blistered and black on all sides. If not, place directly under a broiler or on a grill. Put into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so they can steam for 5-10 minutes before peeling. Cut and proceed with the recipe or refrigerate until needed.
  • Chicken: Let the chicken come to temperature on the counter for about 20 minutes. Place a stainless steal or non-stick skillet and 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium high heat (NOT A CAST IRON SKILLET.) Blot the chicken dry, massage with the remaining teaspoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. When pan is hot, cook the chicken 4-6 minutes per side or until an instant read thermometer registers 160. Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  • Sauce: Turn the heat down to medium and saute the onions and garlic for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the wine. Place the pan back over the heat and cook until most of the wine has evaporated, scraping up any browned bits left from the chicken. Add the cream, poblano peppers and cumin. Cook until the cream has thickened to your liking keeping in mind that it will become even thicker as it cools. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as necessary. Serve over the chicken.
  • Variation: If you’d like, add the cooked onion and garlic, poblano peppers and cream to a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pan, add the cumin and cook until thickened. If it becomes too thick, add a little chicken broth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

**I suggest roasting the peppers up to 5 days before for maximum speed and efficiency in preparing this delicious dish.

    This photo really caught my eye. I love poblano peppers!! My husband and I don’t eat land animals for health reasons, so I replace a lot of chicken with cauliflower “steaks” or florets (which go great tossed with mole). Your sauce sounds divine, and will go perfectly served over a pan fried “steak”…can’t wait to try. I will definitely be peeking at your other recipes. Thanks for sharing!

    Delish! I used chicken broth instead of wine since I was feeding a young teenager. Didn’t have any cream so used half and half instead. Added a few shakes of ground nutmeg and used my immersion blender to smooth the sauce just a bit so it was still a little bit chunky. Really good!

    I love this recipe. So much flavor and your house smells amazing when cooking. I cannot find poblanos so used pasilla peppers but I find they aren’t spicy enough so I have to add cayenne or jalapeños to the sauce. I’ve made it multiple times now and can’t get enough. Last time I made it I sliced and sautéed some mushrooms and added them in with the garlic and onion. Turned out great. Thanks for sharing.

The smoky flavor, creamy taste and subtle sweetness of the finely chopped onions sautéed with wine all combine to yummy goodness. I served over mashed cauliflowers-which soaks up the cream sauce!

      Hi Juanita. Do you have Anaheim or pasilla peppers? They are both good substitutes. If you remove the seeds and light colored rib in the peppers, then they aren’t spicy. I have never made the recipe with a bell pepper. It just wouldn’t taste the same – I don’t mean that it wouldn’t taste good, just not the same. I would try an Anaheim or pasilla pepper instead. -Kim

      This is a really good recipe, partly because of the deep flavor of the Pablono. These peppers taste nothing like a bell pepper though. They are thinner, less juicy, and roasted have a very earthy, deep flavor that compliments the cream mixture.
      I guess I would use whole canned, drained smoked Hatche green peppers if your store doesn’t sell them, or even anaheim banana peppers. On the Border mexican restaurant uses pablanos for their chil relanos, and they’re so delicious with that recipe.

        There is a restaurant near us that serves this dish w/ spinach, and also wraps the chicken around shrimp + jalapenos. I am definitely trying this, and while I may not take the time to recreate the chicken-wrapped shrimp masterpiece, I can attest that the sauce tastes great with both shrimp and chicken. I may try it with some arugula and cress, too.

      Hi Dawn. When I use my cast iron pan, my sauces turn grey. I’m not sure why. Sometimes it’s an acid that pulls the seasoning off the pan or maybe it’s just leftover carbon that’s built up over time. I would hate for anyone to end up with an unappetizing looming sauce. Use your favorite pan. -Kim

    Our garden is filled with many poblano peppers right now, and I was looking for a recipe to go with chicken. This turned out very nicely. I was not looking for low carbs, so I served it with rice and asparagus broiled with olive oil and parmesan. The poblano peppers had just the right amount of “heat” to make it delicious. My wife is still raving about dinner. Thanks for the recipe even if I destroyed the low carb part.

      Great question, Alice. Sour cream tends to curdle if it gets too hot and milk doesn’t have the thickness that cream does. You may be able to add more milk, reduce it, then add a a few tablespoons of butter and finish with a dollop of sour cream. I don’t know how it will taste but it’s worth a shot. -Kim

    Poblanos have become my new love! Just roasted and peeled 6 and plan on making this dish, that I’ve been looking at for too long, in the next few days. I’ll be using boneless skinless thighs since that’s what I have on hand (and I’m determined to work my way through my freezer without buying ANY MORE MEAT!) Also, I’ve just enough white wine for this recipe, I’m definitely not a white wine lover and this has been sitting for weeks. Still smells like it should though, since it cooks down, I’m hoping it will be ok to use!

I also don’t drink white wine or any wine very often, so it sits in my refrigerator for months to be used in recipes. Your wine will be fine. Enjoy the recipe. -Kim

      Jen, the sauce may turn grey. That happens sometimes with my pan when I add an acid to the sauce. Having said that, mine is not a cherished handed down pan so maybe it isn’t seasoned properly? -Kim

    So I typically do not drink dry white wine, and don’t really want to buy a whole bottle just for 1/4 cup…is there something I can sub? Chicken broth? Cooking wine?

      Sure Amanda. I don’t drink wine either and the bottle sits in the fridge for many months! Lol. But it does add another layer of flavor. I also buy the “three buck Chuck” at Trader Joe’s for that same reason. Lol. Yes, you can use some chicken broth to replace the liquid. Cooking wine is cheap wine with lots of salt added so don’t use that. Enjoy the recipe. -Kim

    I made this several nights ago with a bit of trepidation since I don’t generally like boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I made sure to follow your recipe exactly so that I wouldn’t overcook the chicken. My husband loved the recipe, and I liked it, but it wasn’t until I ate leftovers today that I understood why it’s one of your favorites. The flavors really had time to meld together, and it was fantastic.

    I think next time I make it, I’ll follow your suggestion of blending the cream, peppers, and onions, so it will be a smoother sauce. Plus, I’ll be sure to make it a day in advance. Thank you again for another excellent recipe that will become part of my regular rotation.

      I’m so glad you gave it a chance Carole. I agree, if you have left overs, it tastes even better the next day. And doing the peppers in the morning or several days before, makes it so easy to put together. Let me know if you prefer the pureed sauce. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment – as always! Have a wonderful week! -Kim

      Oh, Sarah, the peppers and cream are worth the extra work for the poblano peppers. So yum! Thanks for the comment and kind words. Have a nice week. -Kim

      Thanks for the kind words Taryn. You’re right, spicy and cream go very nicely together. Luckily I removed the veins from the peppers so my kids could eat them. Sometimes poblano can be super spicy. Whew! Thanks for commenting. Have a wonderful day. -Kim

    Kim, you certainly nailed it this time with your photography, though I think you are very modest because all your food looks delicious. I love getting ideas for simple dinners, and the sauce sounds quite exquisite!

    Your photos always so stunning! I love how you’ve included the sauce both ways. One looks creamy and smooth, but the other highlights those beautiful smoky poblanos. BOTH LOOK DELISH!
