  • Immediately add the chicken breasts and cook over medium high heat until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Remove the spice bag if using. If not using, remove the onion, garlic, bay leaves, and other herbs and dispose of them.

  • Remove the stems from the chiles, and then saute all of the ingredients in a frying pan with the oil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add all ingredients (including remaining oil) to a blender and blend well. You can add a small amount of water or broth for a thinner consistency.
