Equipment

  • blender
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 large skillet
  • knife and cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 4 Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Guajillo chilis
  • 2 Pasilla chilis
  • 1 Roma tomato optional
  • ¼ medium white onion

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 bay leaves fresh or dried
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth

Instructions

  • Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilis and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes.

  • Pour in one cup of water, two bay leaves (fresh or dried), ¼ cup of the marinade, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring twice in between.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through. Check the seasoning and add more salt if needed.
