A spicy chicken dish with a tomatillo sauce, best served over rice and accompanied with beans (black, red, or pinto are probably best). To increase the heat of the dish, you can always add more chiles - perhaps a serrano pepper.

Ingredients

3 fresh poblano chile peppers
3 Anaheim chile peppers
¾ pound tomatillos, diced
1 onion, chopped
⅔ cup red bell pepper, diced
4 green onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 2 inch pieces
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
⅔ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Roast peppers for about 25 minutes, until the skins can easily be removed. Remove skins, and chop peppers.
In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peppers with tomatillos, onion, red pepper, green onion, and garlic. Stir in chicken broth. Heat to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, then saute briefly. Pour tomatillo mixture over chicken. Season with oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the cilantro just before serving.
