This recipe is from Donato Ruiz, an authenic tequila producer from Tequila, Jalisco. The chilaca chiles are long and dark green. Dried, they are called pasilla chiles.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
6 half chicken breast, skinned and boned
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cups tequila
4 chilaca or pasilla chiles, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS
Sprinkle the chicken with the salt. Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken and cook for about 20 minutes over low heat until done, turning once; do not brown.


Remove the chicken from the frying pan and set the pan aside, reserving the fat. Transfer the chicken to a large saucepan, add the tequila, and ignite. Set aside.


Reheat the fat in the frying pan and saute the chiles, onion, and garlic over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put the mixture in a food processor along with 1 cup of the stock and process lightly so that the ingredients are still coarse.


Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the frying pan and add the processed mixture. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the chicken, sugar, the remaining stock, and the cornstarch mixture. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, approximately 10 minutes. Serve.
