Рецепт Red Chile Chicken
Red Chile Chicken
I probably didn’t mention that my refrigerator is on the blink. Or rather, on the way out the door. I bought in 1999. It served its purpose and it’s time to bring in a newer model. Once that can store my food and keep it all the right temperature. Currently anything in the back part of the fridge “freezes” and the ice maker doesn’t work anymore.
How can I store all the great sauces that I make when my fridge won’t cooperate with me. the good news is my new one will b e delivered tomorrow.
One of the things I love about having food obsessions is I get to share them with all of you. And even better is creating a recipe that is a bit healthier than the original and loving it even more.
As my saga of my recent Mexican cuisine obsession continues, I am sharing a Red Chile Chicken Recipe also known as Pollo con Chile Rojo.

Trust me on this. There is a world of difference from home-made and store-bought. So even though I am now a lover of Salsa Verde, this red sauce is so thick, it just clings to the chicken.
The addition of the avocado pairs well with the extreme spiciness of the sauce.
Some like it hot and if you are one of them, this is the sauce for you.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
