Instructions
Grilling the Poblanos, Corn and Chicken
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and spray or brush the grates with oil.
- While the grill is heating combine the spices for the chicken and sprinkle evenly over both sides.
- Remove the husks and silk from the corn, brush or spray them with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Brush or spray the poblano peppers with oil.
- Place the corn and poblanos on the heated grill and close the lid.
- Turn the corn and peppers approximately every 3-5 minutes until the corn has char marks and the skin of the poblanos is completely charred and the flesh is soft, this will take about 15-20 minutes total.
- Once the poblanos are ready remove them from the grill and into a plastic or paper bag and seal it for approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the corn from the grill and cut off the kernels with a knife once they are cool enough to handle.
- While the corn and poblanos are cooling grill the chicken for approximately 4-6 minutes per side depending on their thickness.
- Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Once the poblanos have cooled, remove from the bag and peel off the skins.
- Cut off the stems, remove the seeds and chop the peppers.
Sweet Potato Noodles
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- When the skillet is hot add in the spiralized sweet potatoes.
- Season with kosher salt and black pepper and sauté for 6-8 minutes or until tender, but still have a little bite to them.
Creamy Poblano Sauce
- Add 1/2 a cup of the chopped poblanos to a blender along with 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth, blend until smooth.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter.
- Once the butter is melted whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the remaining chicken broth and poblano mixture whisking the entire time.
- Add in the cumin and season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Continue to whisk the sauce until it thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool for a minute before whisking in the Greek yogurt.
