Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup olive oil
1 medium white onion, diced (1 cup)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 pounds (4 cups) plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
2 small bay leaves, preferably Mexican
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 cup green olives, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
2 pounds finely chopped chicken breast, or ground chicken breast
Coarse salt
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 15 minutes. Add olives, raisins, and capers; cook 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, heat remaining 1/4 cup oil until just beginning to smoke over high heat. Add chicken, and cook until dry, stirring constantly. Season with salt. Add reserved tomato mixture, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Add almonds, cilantro, parsley, and mint. Remove from heat, and let cool. This may be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature, and remove bay leaf before stuffing chiles.

I've tried several picadillo de pollo recipes, and this one is by far the best. The addition of the green olives gives the dish a unique and delicious flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland and unappetizing. I was very disappointed.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of raisins in savory dishes. But I'm so glad I did! The raisins added a subtle sweetness that really complemented the other flavors in the dish.
