Recipe by Allison Ehri Kreitler from Fine Cooking Issue 97

4 large Poblano Chiles

2 medium Tomatoes, chopped

1/2 medium White Onion, chopped

1 large clove Garlic, chopped

1 TB ground Cumin

Generous pinch of ground Cinnamon

Kosher Salt

1 TB Olive Oil

2 cups shredded cooked Chicken, preferable dark meat

1 1/2 cups cooked Brown or White Rice

2 cups grated Sharp or Extra-Sharp white Cheddar (about 7 oz)

1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro

1 TB Lime Juice

Position an oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high.  Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.  Slit chiles from stem to tip and set on the baking sheet.  Broil, turning every few minutes, until blackened all over, 5 to 8 minutes.  Let cool slightly, peel off the skins, and cut out the seed cores, leaving the stems on.  Turn the chiles inside out, flick out any remaining seeds, and turn right side out.  Return the poblanos to the baking sheet.  Puree the tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor.  Heat the oil in a 12” skillet over medium heat.  Add the puree and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture looks thick and pulpy, 8 to 11 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat.  Stir in the chicken and rice, and then 1 cup of the cheese, the cilantro, and the lime juice.  Season to taste with salt.  Divide the filling among the peppers, wrapping the sides of the peppers up and around the filling, some of which will be exposed.  Broil the peppers until the cheese is melting and the top is beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.  Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese and broil until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
