Oaxacan-Style Chicken Picadillo

Step 1

Saute onions. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent but not browned.

Step 2

Add tomato. Add tomato, the measured teaspoon of salt, sugar, stick of canela, cumin, chili powder, allspice, and cook until tomato has broken down into a sauce.

Step 3

Add chicken. Add chicken, raisins, almonds, and chicken broth and cook until chicken is hot and has soaked up some of the tomato sauce.

Step 4

Serve. Stir in parsley and serve with white rice or use as a filling for chiles rellenos.
