Ingredients:

Serving

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts , cut into strips (or bite sized pieces)
1 medium fresh sweet onion, sliced (yellow or red onion, your preference)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups boiling water
2 tsp beef bouillon granules
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
6 oz tomato paste
2 tsp minced roasted garlic
1 tbsp dried ancho chile powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp dry sherry
1/4 tsp butter
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
1 cup mexican crema
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese, for garnish (also known as queso anejado, can substitute feta if necessary)
chopped scallions, for garnish
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut into slices, for garnish

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium temperature then sauté the sliced onion until it begins to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the chicken and sauté until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.
In another large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the boiling water and bouillon granules until dissolved.
Add remaining ingredients (except for garnish) and the cooked chicken and onion, stir well, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Garnish with crumbled Cotija, a bit of chopped scallion, and avocado, serve with rice and beans, and enjoy!
Note: to make the sauce even better, instead of the bouillon granules and water use 2 cups homemade beef stock and 1 cup homemade chicken stock.
