Chuck Machado asked:
At the recent Fiery Foods and Barbecue show in Albuquerque, we made enough Santa Fe Chicken to serve 5000 guests. Some of our customers call this Chili Chicken, but it did originate in Santa Fe. When other vendors were opening bags of chips to serve with their salsa, we stuck to our philosophy that real food demands real cooking. If we’re going to be in the specialty foods business, we’d better get cooking. Three hundred pounds of chicken, thirty onions and fifteen bunches of cilantro went toward our effort, but the results were impressive.
Many happy customers walked away with our Green Sauce and a new Chicken Recipe. There’s something magical that occurs when chicken meets green chile and cheese. The flavors blend, becoming one. The fierceness of green chile gives way to a more pronounced statement of flavor, allowing the protein to come forward. Each year we get hundreds of requests for our cooking recipes. Some claim their kids have become addicted to the flavors and we figure it’s a good thing. In the fast paced world of soccer, baseball and scouts, we’re happy to manufacture and promote quality food products.
Like with all of our cooking recipes, this gourmet meal can be accomplished in thirty minutes.
