Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Poblano or New Mexico chiles, peeled
½ cup (one stick) unsalted butter
1 medium Onion; chopped
2 Garlic cloves; minced
½ cup Pimento-stuffed olives; sliced
½ cup Pitted prunes; coarsely diced
½ cup Dried apricots; coarsely diced
1½ teaspoon Ground cumin
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground cloves
2 cups Shredded cooked chicken

Directions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until very hot and fragrant. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for three minutes.

Add the olives and fried fruit and cook, stirring another three minutes.

Add the spices and chicken and cook, stirring to combine, for tow minutes more. Season with salt. Cut a small slit in the stem end of each chile.

Remove seeds if desired, but do not tear chile. Carefully stuff chiles with the mixture through the slit in each. Bake on a greased baking sheet or shallow pan at 500 degrees for seven minutes. Spoon the tomato sauce onto individual plates or a large serving platter and arrange the chiles on top.
