INGREDIENTES:
Para el pollo:
- 🐔 1 pechuga de pollo sin piel ni hueso, cortada en tiras
- 🫒 1/4 taza de aceite de oliva
- 🧂 1 cucharadita de sal
- 🌶️ 1 cucharadita de pimienta
- 🌿 1 cucharadita de orégano
- 🧈 1 cucharada de mantequilla
Para la salsa de cilantro:
- 🌿 2 tazas de cilantro fresco
- 🥛 2 tazas de leche evaporada
- 🍵 2 tazas de caldo de pollo
- 🧀 1/2 taza de queso crema
- 🧅 1/8 pieza de cebolla
- 🧄 1 diente de ajo
- 🧈 3 cucharaditas de mantequilla
- 🍚 3 cucharaditas de harina
INSTRUCCIONES:
1. Marinar el pollo:
- En un tazón, mezcla las tiras de pollo con el aceite de oliva, la sal, la pimienta y el orégano. Deja marinar durante 5 minutos para que absorban los sabores.
2. Cocinar el pollo:
- Calienta una sartén grande a fuego medio-alto y añade la mantequilla.
- Cocina las tiras de pollo hasta que estén doradas y completamente cocidas (aproximadamente 6-8 minutos). Retira del fuego y resérvalas.
3. Preparar la salsa de cilantro:
- En una licuadora, combina el cilantro fresco, la leche evaporada, el caldo de pollo, el queso crema, la cebolla y el ajo. Licúa hasta obtener una mezcla homogénea y suave.
4. Espesar la salsa:
- En una olla mediana, derrite las 3 cucharaditas de mantequilla a fuego medio.
- Añade la harina y cocina por 1-2 minutos, revolviendo constantemente, hasta que forme una pasta dorada (roux).
- Vierte lentamente la mezcla licuada de cilantro en la olla, mientras revuelves para evitar grumos.
- Cocina la salsa a fuego bajo-medio durante 8-10 minutos, o hasta que espese ligeramente. Ajusta la sazón si es necesario.
5. Servir:
- Coloca las tiras de pollo en un plato y báñalas generosamente con la salsa de cilantro caliente.
- Acompaña con arroz blanco, papas al horno o verduras al vapor para completar el plato.
CONSEJOS Y VARIACIONES:
- Salsa más ligera: Sustituye la leche evaporada por leche de almendra o yogur griego para una versión más ligera.
- Agrega especias: Incorpora chile jalapeño o serrano al licuar la salsa para darle un toque picante.
- Decoración: Espolvorea hojas de cilantro fresco o queso parmesano rallado sobre el plato antes de servir.
- Opción vegana: Usa tofu firme o champiñones en lugar de pollo, y sustituye la mantequilla por aceite vegetal y el queso crema por una alternativa vegana.
BENEFICIOS:
- Ligero y nutritivo: El pollo es una excelente fuente de proteínas magras, mientras que el cilantro aporta antioxidantes y frescura.
- Fácil de preparar: Todo se hace en menos de 40 minutos, ideal para una comida rápida pero elegante.
- Versátil: Puedes adaptar los ingredientes según tus preferencias o necesidades dietéticas.
