MEXICAN SPICY CHICKEN FILLING

Steps:

• 1. You start by seeding your dried chiles just take off stems and tap seeds out. In a dried pan add chiles and toast for 1 minute on each side until soft. Add chicken stock onion and garlic clove. bring to a boil turn off stove and cover with lid and let sit for 20 minutes. While that is sitting start shredding your cooked chicken making sure you don't have any grizzle. You need about 4 cups of shredded chicken set aside.
• 2. After 20 minute get your chiles out and put in blender with garlic clove and onion and the liquid. Blend until chiles are blended. Put liquid through a strainer if you'd like that is what I do. In a large pan add shredded chicken, tomato sauce and liquid add oregano, salt and cumin simmer chicken in sauce for 10-15 minutes.
• 3. Let filling cool down and start using right away. You can do the same with shredded pork just use beef broth instead.

SPICY MEXICAN CHICKEN STUFFED BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• Bread -- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and either spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Remove the bread loaf from the can and cut each loaf into 3 pieces. Shape each into ball, placing seam at bottom so dough is smooth on top. Place dough balls, seam side down, on sprayed cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 22 to 26 minutes or until golden brown.
• Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the chicken, pepper and onion and cook 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
• Then add, in all the remaining ingredients except the sour cream and the 1 cup of cheese, and mix well. Bring to a boil, stir, and then reduce to medium low and simmer about 10 minutes, add in the sour cream and cook another minute or so, just to heat up.
• Bread Bowls -- Now the bread should be done and slightly cooled so you can handle them. You can also make these the day before, no problem. If you make the bread ahead, I like to just heat them up in the oven at 325 for about 10 minutes to warm up. Then, cut a slice off the top and then scoop out about 1/2 of the bread, and just press the rest of the bread in the bowl down to make room for the filling. You want some of the bread to remain.
• Fill -- Add 1/4 cup cheese to the bottom of each bowl, then fill your bread bowl with the chicken mixture, and then top each bread bowl with the remaining cheese and olives as a garnish. Serve the sour cream on the side.
• If you really want to make it good. Place the bread bowls right under the broiler for just a minute to melt the cheese. Just ENJOY! These are really very good.
• NOTE -- Don't throw out that bread you scooped out. Put in a baggie and freeze. Use that as a nice stuffing for some fish fillets of chicken breasts and it makes a great thickening agent for soups. You can also just let is dry out, crunch up and use over vegetables for bread crumbs. SAVE IT!
