Spicy chocolate almond chicken with bananas and nuts - a unique and flavorful dish!
Ingredients:
  • 2 (2 pound) bone-in chickens, giblets removed
  • 1 large onion, cut into chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 20 blanched almonds
  • 0.25 cup diced firm ripe banana
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 corn tortillas, torn into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
Instructions:
  • Cut the chickens, reserving the breasts. Place all chicken pieces except the breasts in a deep saucepan over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half and add them to the saucepan. Simmer until they are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes more. Use an instant-read thermometer near the bone and ensure it reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, discard the skin and bones, and then cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Pour the flavorful broth through a fine mesh strainer, keeping the liquid and saying goodbye to the onion, garlic, and skimmed fat. Adjust the volume to 3 cups by either adding water if you have less or simmering to reduce if you have more.
  • In a blender, blend together chili powder, almonds, banana, cinnamon, salt, tortilla pieces, sesame seeds, and pine nuts. Gradually add the reserved liquid while blending until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and chocolate, stirring until melted. Mix in chicken and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until heated through.
