Meal No. 2525: Chicken "Carne" Adovada


Back on Sunday evening a week ago, with four of us getting started on the third season of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I served up one-bowl meals of chicken adovada, with its signature brick-red New Mexico chiles sauce. It was nowhere near as good as the pork version of carne adovada that I've made a handful of times, but I wanted a take on it that could be made with the chicken thighs I already had on hand.


But dessert that night helped make up for the mediocrity of the meal! Earlier in the weekend, I made a fresh batch of fudge ripple vanilla ice cream so that it would be set and ready after dinner that Sunday night. I also got the batter assembled for making DoubleTree-style chocolate chip cookies fresh and hot out of the oven to go with that ice cream. That's what finished us off after dinner. It was sort of amazing.
