For an extra layer of depth, consider lightly searing the chicken before simmering. This will add a delightful caramelized note to the final dish. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers to suit your desired level of heat. Remember, a little goes a long way! If Mexican crema is unavailable, sour cream makes an excellent substitute. For a tangier finish, try using Greek yogurt. Serve this dish with warm tortillas, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delectable sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large stockpot, artfully arrange the chicken (breast-side up), chicken broth, water, Mexican crema, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Ensure all components are embraced by the liquid. Gently coax the mixture to a boil over medium heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepOnce simmering, reduce the heat to a whisper, cover, and allow the flavors to meld harmoniously for 1 hour.
03
StepWith care, turn the chicken over using tongs. Cloak the stockpot once more, and continue to simmer until the chicken achieves perfection, approximately 30 minutes. A culinary thermometer, when introduced to the thickest part of the thigh, should register a triumphant 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
04
StepCarefully extract the chicken from its aromatic bath and set aside.
05
StepRaise the flame to high, urging the mixture to a vigorous boil. Skim away any fleeting fats that dare to surface, a process of refinement that should take 5 to 10 minutes.
06
StepTransform the chicken into serving-size pieces, and reunite it with the stockpot. Shower the ensemble with chopped cilantro, and allow the chicken to bask in the warmth for a final 5 minutes.
