Thank you gentlemen. Looks like we polished off half the pot. Wife even had seconds. Good heat without a punishing lingering torture. Of late I’ve become quite found of using roasted green chilies. Been doing a version of rotel and velvetta with green chilies, garlic and cilantro. That too seems to disappear rather quickly. :texas:

Let me work on that idea tomorrow. Wife bought 3 packs of legs on sale or I’m getting them cooked ASAP. Enchiladas verde sounds like a plan. I’m thinking straight hatch or poblano. I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

That’s pretty, gizzards or no gizzards.

Let me know what you come up with. I have also used Anahiems when Jalapenos wouldn't work in a dish because of the heat????????????

Guess what showed up on FB today? After looking it over, it definitely needs your attention and creativity.\

That looks like it could be really good. Not a fan of enchilada sauce in a can but can fix that. Also not much if any heat depending on the salsa verde. Got started on sauce for chicken enchiladas today. Will have a verdict on it tomorrow evening.

Exactly my thoughts and reasons for passing this along. Let me know what you come up with and I'll plan a trip to HEB very soon. :tup: :texas:

Ok Parts this would be my attempt at the soup. Neither of us are white meat fans so thighs it would be. There looks to be a total of 6.5 cups of liquid. I'm also not a crock pot cooker so I'd use a regular soup pot.

Meat and Stock:

Thighs 3# +/-
Carrot 3 ea.
Celery 3 stalks
Garlic 4-5 cloves, or chef's choice +/-
Knorr's Chicken Bouillon 3 TBL. ( sounds like a lot but it contains all the salt I'd use )
Bay leaf 3-4

Bring to a boil, add thighs and cook till done.
Remove thighs, cool and chop or shred. Puree and strain stock.

Enchilada Sauce:

Tomatillo 6-7 good sized med.-lg.
Poblano 3 ea.
Jalapeno 3 ea.
Green Onion 1 bunch
Cilantro 1 bunch for this I only use the stems, reserve the leaves for garnish
Mex. Oregano 1 tsp. I don't substitute Italian, Mexican or omit
Cumin 1 tsp.
Coriander 1 tsp.
Black Pepper 1 tsp.

Combine all, boil, puree and strain.

For the boiling liquids I'd go with 2, 24oz. Shiners or Lone Star but water is suitable.

Combine the stock, sauce and meat. Bring to a simmer, melt in cream cheese, mont. jack cheese and heavy cream. Adjust seasoning if needed and enjoy.

This like any recipe is just a working outline. You can increase, decrease, substitute or omit most anything you like or don't like. :texas:

Thank you, Sir, FWIW, we are a white meat family except for wing meat and back meats so this will definitely go over breast meat and tortillas, probably with a topping of Mont Jack and in the Oven.

Appreciate it, Pal :tup: :salut: :texas:
