OK, so it seems like we're eating a lot of chicken lately, but we're not. In between the grilled chicken (POLLO A LA PARRILLA) several days ago and this latest dish using chicken breasts (PECHUGAS) we had been eating other things that Mom liked and that weren't Mexican.
I decided to spring this one on her and see how she liked it. It's an old recipe out of one of my old Diana Kennedy cookbooks, and it is GOOD. The main ingredients besides the PECHUGAS are peanuts (cacahuates), tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chipotle peppers. For Mom's protection, I only added one rather than 2-3 chipotles that are called for in the recipe.
We served the finished PECHUGAS DE POLLO EN SALSA DE CACAHUATE with some brown rice on the side and some hot corn tortillas. Before dinner we had some guacamole with tortilla chips. All three of us - even Mom - liked the PECHUGAS and agreed that the amount of chile chipotle was just right. I think it could have used more peanuts and a bit more garlic, too. I would make this dinner again in a flash - for company, for a potluck or just for the two of us!
