Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 5-pound whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried, crumbled Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups chopped white onion (from 1 large or 2 small onions)
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought low sodium)
5 pasilla chiles, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and drained
One 3.2-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, roughly chopped
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Rinse the chicken and pat dry. In a medium bowl, mix the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Set a cooling or baking rack into a baking sheet. Place the chicken pieces on the rack and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Rub the spice mixture all over. Rub some of the mixture in between the skin and the breast meat. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees F and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the oven and cover with some aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until the flavors incorporate, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender with the soaked pasilla chiles and puree until smooth. Return to the same saucepan and add the chopped chocolate, stirring over medium heat until fully melted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Top with the chocolate pasilla sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces bacon, diced
One 3-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 serrano chile, stemmed and halved
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon pimenton (smoked paprika)
1 1/2 cups red wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 ounces baking chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Heat a braiser or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and bacon; cook until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate, using a slotted spoon.
  • Turn the heat up to medium-high. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, and sprinkle all over with the salt. Add the chicken, skin-side down, to the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and brown on the reverse side, an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to the plate with the bacon.
  • Add the onions, carrots, garlic and chiles to the pan, and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the allspice and pimenton; cook another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and deepened in color, 2 minutes more. Deglaze the pan with the red wine and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the chicken broth and then whisk in the chopped chocolate. Nestle in the browned chicken pieces, skin-side down, and sprinkle with the bacon. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes, turning the chicken pieces halfway through.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter to rest. Meanwhile, whisk the butter and agave nectar into the sauce. Stir in the peas, then spoon the stew over the chicken pieces.

CHICKEN IN A CHOCOLATE SAUCE



Chicken in a Chocolate Sauce image

This recipe is adapted from "the Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking" which has been around forever. I like the interesting mix of ingredients. It is reminiscent of a mole but much more simple and not spicy. It called for a whole disjointed chicken which I have replaced with chicken breasts. If you use boneless chicken breasts you will need to watch the cooking time as it will cook faster. I liked Recipe #248470 with this dish.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup raisins
12 prunes, pitted
whole almond, and
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt and pepper. Adjust to taste as I just guessed on the measurements. Place in plastic bag and dredge breasts in it.
  • Heat oil in a skillet and add chicken. Brown on both sides. Remove chicken to oven proof dish, preferably one with a lid.
  • Add 2 Tbs flour or some of the dredging flour to pan drippings. Cook until browned, stirring constantly. Add stock gradually; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  • Blend in chocolate and stir until melted. Add cinnamon and salt and pepper if needed. Stir in remaining ingredients (not garnish) and pour over chicken.
  • Bake, covered, in preheated 325 F oven for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chocolate: Use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor. Avoid using chocolate chips, as they contain stabilizers that can prevent the chocolate from melting smoothly.
  • Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Stir constantly: Stir the chocolate constantly as it melts to prevent it from seizing.
  • Add the chicken gradually: Add the chicken to the chocolate mixture in small batches, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the chicken from curdling.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Cook the chicken until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the chicken with chocolate sauce immediately, while it is still hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken with chocolate is a unique and delicious dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its rich, complex flavor and tender texture, this dish is a perfect choice for a special occasion meal. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, main course, or dessert, chicken with chocolate is sure to be a hit.
