Ingredients

  • 4
    bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 2 3/4 pounds)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 2
    tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1
    medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4
    cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1
    chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1
    28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. In batches, if necessary, cook chicken skin-side down until browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer to plate.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from pot. Add 2 tablespoons water.

  3. 3

    Add garlic, cumin and chipotle; cook until garlic is soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add tomatoes, season and bring to a simmer; cook 5 minutes, breaking tomatoes down with a wooden spoon.

  5. 5

    Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pot; bring to a simmer, cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve over rice.
