I had a cup of leftover poblano raisin sauce from the weekend. I decided to make my favorite kind of meal- a one pot meal. I bought some boneless skinless chicken thighs. That is all I needed since I took the rest out of my fridge and pantry.

I sauteed some onion and carrots with olive oil. I added the sauce, chicken and chicken broth. I let the chicken cook for a while.. until it was ready to fall apart. Considering it is a stew, it took me all of 45 minutes to make. The trick to really good flavor was of course the yummy sauce.. but I also sauteed the chicken pieces in some hot olive oil before I cooked the onions and the garlic. The browning of the meat gives the stew a delicious, nutty flavor and the chicken tastes really good also. The roasted corn complemented the dish really well. I always have a few packs in my freezer was such occasions. A generous helping of fresh cilantro completed the dish. I served it with a big salad and a dollop of guacamole… delish!
