Instructions
Instructions For the Guajillo Sauce: Cut the stems off the guajillos and cut lengthwise. Remove all the seeds and veins from the inside. Repeat with all the dried chiles. Boil 4 cups water. Turn heat off and add the chiles. Cover and let sit for 7 minutes, or until pliable. Discard the water. Add the rehydrated chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and 2 cups water. Blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use. For the Chicken: Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot. Sear the chicken on all sides. About 4-5 minutes on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot, or it will not sear properly. Place a strainer above the pot. Using a cooking spoon, strain the sauce into the pot. Discard any remaining bits. Add 1 cup water, bouillon, and calabacitas. Mix as best as you can. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is ready. Serve and enjoy!View original recipe
