Chicken With Spicy Prune Sauce Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. Safflower oil
- 2 lb Chicken thighs, (I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts.)
- 1 tsp Sea salt, about, ( I used kosher salt)
- 1 lrg White onion, thinly sliced
- 1 c. Roughly minced prunes
- 1 c. Raisins
- 5 x Canned chipotle chiles in adobo, roughly minced, (I didn't bother to chop.)
- 2 can Coca Cola or possibly Pepsi Cola, (!)
Directions
- Last night I made dinner using which fabulous Mexican cookbook, recipe for "Chicken with Spicy Prune Sauce." This is a combination which had never crossed my mind, and now I see all sorts of possibilities using the sauce. It's mouth-wateringly delicious!
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet with a lid. Add in the chicken pcs and brown on all sides, about 10 min. Season with salt.
- Remove chicken, add in onion and sautee till onion becomes limp. Pour off any excess oil. Return chicken to skillet, lower the heat and cook gently for another 5 min.
- While the chicken is cooking, put the prunes, raisins and chipotles in a blender with some of the cola. Blend till smooth. Continue to blend in the remaining cola.
- Pour the prune sauce over the chicken, stir, and simmer over medium-low heat, covered, about 30 min, till the chicken is well done and the sauce thickened. Taste for seasoning and add in more salt if necessary.
- Remove chicken to a warm platter and pour the sauce over the chicken."
