Equipment
  • 1 large cooking pot
  • 1 blender
  • 1 large cooking pot
Ingredients
  
  • ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup roasted hot Hatch chiles or a blend of jalapeno and serrano peppers
  • 1 tomatillo
  • 1 stalk green onions white parts removed and finely chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded "extra melt" American cheese or torn cheese slices
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • A handful of fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
 
  • Begin by roasting your choice of green chilies.
    Remove seeds and stems from the chilies and roughly chop them.
    Chop the tomatillo, green onions, and cilantro as well.
  • In a large cooking pot, pour a small amount of chicken broth or vegetable broth and place it over medium heat.
    Add the chopped chilies and garlic, then sauté until tender and fragrant
  • To the pot, add the tomatillo, green onions, fresh cilantro, cream of chicken soup, and remaining chicken broth.
    Mix well.
    Cook until the mixture is warmed through
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender.
    Add lime or lemon juice to taste and blend until smooth, creating a creamy Boom Boom Sauce.
    If you prefer a milder flavor, use fewer chilies or adjust the ratio of jalapeno to serrano peppers.
    For a spicier flavor, increase the quantity of chilies and opt for a spicy blend of peppers.
  • Return the blended sauce to the pot over medium heat.
    Add the "extra melt" American cheese or torn cheese slices into the pot and cook on low heat, stirring frequently until the cheese is melted and well combined.
    Your Chuy's Boom Boom Sauce is now ready to be served!
    This distinctive sauce can be used as a condiment for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, or any dish that you'd like to add extra flavor to.
