Wow, I have never had Relleno's with chicken. Looks like I will def have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!


Very nice. I have lots of Poblanos this time of year and Rellenos is my favorite way to fix them. I will be trying this one soon... Jim


If there was a 10-fork this would be it! I LOVE, LOVE stuffed poblanos! But I do it with the usual sauteed ground round, minced potatoes & carrots then I whisk an egg, cover the filling and fry. Very plain. I'm definitely trying your recipe this week! This is great! Thanks Til!!!


Love chile rellenos! My favorite Mexican dish. I always stick the fresh peppers into the gas stovetop burners, and char the skin...then wrap them into a damp dish towel (or in a paper bag) so they steam, a little and the skins peels off easily. I also remove the seeds. I do the same with anaheim chile peppers...is that what you do?


This looks great,I LOVE mexican,I have poblanos growing in my garden now!!!!!!THANKYOU!!!!
