- 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
- 1 large anaheim chili, sliced in half
- 4 pasilla chilies, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 serrano peppers, minced
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup almonds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or chicken thighs
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Turn the broiler on the oven to high.
- Place the tomatillos, anaheim chili and pasilla chilies on a baking sheet and under the broiler, roast for 6-8 minutes, or until slightly charred.
- While the tomatillos and chiles are roasting, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and serrano peppers, saute 5-6 minutes, then add the garlic and saute for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the chiles and tomatillos from the oven and cool slightly. Peel the skins from the chilies, and remove the seeds and stems. Place the chilies and tomatillos in a food processor or blender. Pulse for 3-5 seconds.
- Add the onion, serrano, and garlic to the food processor with the remaining ingredients, except for the chicken. Blend until smooth.
- Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker and pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours.
- Serve the chicken over quinoa or rice, or shred and serve in tortillas as tacos.
