- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
4 chicken breasts
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 dried ancho chiles (seeds and stems removed)
- 2 dried chipotle chiles (seeds and stems removed)
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄2 cup white wine vinegar
- 2⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
directions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees (or set to "keep warm").
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat; add chicken breast in a single layer and cook until browned on that side, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Discard oil from pan, leaving any browned bits on the bottom.
- Add chiles, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water to pan. Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Return chicken to pan, unbrowned side down. Cover and simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, cover with foil, and keep warm in a 200 degree oven. Meanwhile, simmer the sauce until it is reduced and coats the back of a spoon, about 25 mintues longer.
- Remove chiles and discard. Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with cilantro.
