Directions:

  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry; place pieces one at a time, skinned side down, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Melt butter in oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat; add chicken, a portion at a time, without crowding; cook, turning after 2-3 minutes, until golden on the outside and no longer pink when slashed, about 4-6 minutes, total.
  3. Transfer to an ovenproof platter and keep warm.
  4. Add onion, garlic and celery to pan; cook, stirring, until onion is soft.
  5. Add chiles, tomatoes and their liquid, broth, cumin, oregano and sugar; cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  6. Add any juices that have drained from the chicken, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Pour sauce over chicken; sprinkle with cheese and broil 3 inches below heat until cheese is melted.
