Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    8 oz Chicken broth, fat free
    8 oz fat -free cream cheese
    1/4 cup reduced-calorie margarine
    3 garlic cloves, peeled (or to taste)
    3 Poblano peppers, roasted, peeled
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat poblano peppers with a little bit of oil and place in a heavy, oven-proof pan.
Roast for 20 minutes or until skin starts to char and bubble.
Immediately remove and place into sealed container or plastic bag.
In about 10 minutes, skin should peel right off the peppers.
Split and remove seeds.

In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
Transfer into a saucepan and heat through on low to medium heat until hot.
Serve over fish, pork, chicken, eggs - the sky's the limit with this sauce. It would even be a great first-course as a soup.

    This sounds tasty. A little trick with roasting the peppers is to char them on your gas grill. It adds extra flavor to the peppers. You can blacken them,pop in a ziplock bag and they'll practically sweat their own skins off. EZ peeling. - 1/11/10

    My husband, a chef, and the rest of the family loved on enchiladas and grilled chicken. He suggest a bit of lime and then on fish. - 3/23/09

    Wonderful & so many uses! I initially made it to go over grilled salmon and it was very well received ~ next we made it to top omelets, then again to go over ravioli and it was fantastic every time!! :) - 6/24/09

    I used this over chicken breasts and as sauce in chicken wraps. It was very yummy, healthy, and satisfying....a bit fidgety to make with blistering the poblanos, but it makes a substantial amount and I used it all week. - 3/18/07
