Great Flavor and appearance. The chicken comes out looking a bit like Chicken Mole but one bite tells you Umm Umm this is different but oh so good. I don't think that everyone will enjoy the cilantro flavor but it is a favorite of mine. I used hot peppers a mixture of Jalapeno and serrano nice combo with the cilantro. I made the sauce and browned the chicken early in the PM then cooked it on medium heat covered for apprx 20 minutes just before serving. Thanks RMess for an excellent recipe.
