Ingredients

  • 4 6-ounce chicken breasts
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 chipotles in adobe sauce chopped
  • 1 tablespoon masa
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 16 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano
  • 3 ounces cooked chorizo
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked pasta to serve
  • Parmesan cheese to serve

Instructions

  • Heat a large deep pan to medium heat with a dash of olive oil.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon chili powder. Sear the chicken in the pan about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside for later.
  • To the same heated pan add the onion and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook about 1 minute, or until garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Transfer onion, jalapeno and garlic to a food processor. Add chipotle peppers and a couple tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Process until smooth. Set aside.
  • To the same heated pan, add the chorizo and cook about 5 minutes or until the chorizo is cooked through.
  • To the pan, add masa and mix to form a roux with the chorizo oils. Cook about 2 minutes, or until roux becomes nutty brown.
  • Add chicken stock and mix. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add remaining tomato sauce, contents of the food processor, tomato paste, Mexican oregano and 1 tablespoon chili powder. Mix well and simmer at least 20 minutes. Simmer longer for developed flavors.
  • Add chicken to simmering sauce. Cover each breast with the sauce to immerse them.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve over pasta with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over top.
