We love Mexican food at our home and I thought I would try a new recipe.
So you 1 large roasted chicken (about 4-6 lbs),

I cut up

In 2 Tbsp olive oil, brown the chicken pieces

Next, take these ingredients; 1/2 c. of each lime juice and honey 1/4 c. chopped cilantro, 2 large dried peppers, 1/2 onion chopped, 3 T dijon mustard, 1 T. tomato paste, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 t. ground cumin, 1/2 t. allspice and salt

Then, chop 2 chipotle chiles in adobo

Add all the ingredients to a blender.

And blend:

After the chicken is browned, deglaze the pan with 1 c. water and 1/2 c. red wine. Add chicken, and the sauce back in the dutch oven. Cover and bake in 250 degree oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Your house will smell heavenly.


Remove all the meat, you should be able to do this with a fork as the meat is so tender.
I chopped up an avocado, tomatoes and lettuce. Shredded some cheddar.

This is way too complicated for me! Could you be a doll and send me the link to your chicken salad recipe again? I forgot to write it down and can't find it! I want to try it out ASAP!
ReplyDeleteCynthia,

Looks delicious. I've never cut up a chicken though. I guess I could just buy the pieces.
