Mexican style chocolate chicken

This time I have a special combination with Mexican roots.  Chicken, chocolate, wine, cinnamon, raisons, all into one dish and surprisingly delicious. The recipe was created by Chakall, a well known Argentine cook living in Berlin, even in the same building as me.

Ingredients (for 4 persons):

• 4 chicken fillets
• 2 tablespoons of flower
• half a teaspoon of cinnamon
• a bit of salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 red onion
• 2 red peppers
• 100 ml red wine
• 200 ml chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar candy
• 50 ml cream
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 2 tablespoons almond discs
• Coriander to garnish

Directions:

• Cut the onions and peppers finely .
• Coat the chicken with the flour, cinnamon, salt . In the movie Chakall shows a very interesting way to do this with a freezer bag.
• Melt the butter with a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and fry the chicken fillets for two minutes . Later, we will put them in the oven.
• Add the onions and peppers with a little extra olive oil to the hot pan and cook a few minutes .
• Add the red wine and let it boil for a while.
• Then add successively the chicken broth, tomato paste , cocoa powder and sugar. Stir well.
• Then add the cream, the raisins and the almonds to it at the end .
• Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.
• Place the chicken , topped with the bulk of the sauce into an ovenproof dish and cook for 10 minutes in the oven .
• Put the chicken on plates, garnish with the remaining sauce and chopped cilantro .

In the picture I have also added some crushed hazelnut used for finishing .
