Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 10) Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 teaspoons safflower oil 3 poblano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, chopped (about 1 3/4 cups) 1 large onion, chopped (about 3 cups) 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons) 1 tablespoon lightly packed finely chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 tablespoon chili powder 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 3 cans (15.5 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained Lime wedges, for serving Cilantro sprigs, for serving Salsa fresca (from Salsa Fresca Salad), for serving

Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken, skin-side down. Cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Carefully remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot; reduce heat to medium. Add chiles, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping browned bits from bottom of pot, until onion is softened and golden in spots, about 5 minutes. Add oregano and chili powder. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Return chicken with accumulated juices to pot, along with broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thighs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, mash half of beans to a paste in a bowl with a potato masher. Stir mashed beans into pot with remaining whole beans. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.

Remove and discard chicken skins and bones. Pull meat into bite-size shreds and stir into stew. Simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro sprigs, and salsa fresca.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/01/2018   As is, it’s not bad, however like the previous review, it came off a but bland. I added the jalapeño but then I thought that it just needed a few tweaks. First I ditched the poblano chili in favor of Anaheim chilis instead. Made the recipe according to directions. In the final step after readding the shredded chicken, I seasoned with garlic and onion powder, a little salt. Before adding to the bowl I added sour cream, green onions and a splash of Tobasco sauce. Once you added the soup, let it sit for a minute then stir it up and ate it up with warm flour tortillas... yummmmmm!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       01/17/2018   This sounded good, but without the nutritional values, I can't make it. I need to know sodium, potassium and phosphorus content for someone with kidney disease before I could try this. Would be nice if the recipe showed the nutritional values.
