Rudy's Green Chile Chicken Stew - need recipe!

mkc

Our cheese smoking friends brought dinner over yesterday as their Egg "timeshare" payment. Ginger brought some home-made cornbread and some fabulous green chile chicken stew she'd bought at our local (franchise, not company store) Rudy's BBQ (the worst BBQ in Texas, as they advertise).

So now I need a recipe! It's got spicy green chile, had chunks of potato, obviously some smoked, shredded chicken, not sure what else. It is fabulous and I need to make some! This in NOT white chili - no beans that I could detect (but then, I'd had some wine.....)

Anyone familiar with the product who can offer up a recipe for such a thing? I know I can buy it, but I have a passion for cooking everything I possibly can from scratch... (the other gals on my street think I'm a freak, they'd rather eat out every meal or buy prepared meals from Schwan's....).

Thanks, Ross! I think if I use either chicken or turkey thighs in that recipe I'll get something close!
