Directions
Add just enough olive oil to a 14" skillet to coat the bottom. If you don't have a skillet this large cut the recipe in half and make two batches. Sauté chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the chicken and sauté the onions for a few minutes. Add the chicken and all of the remaining ingredients except the poblanos and half the cilantro. Bring to a boil and then simmer, partially covered for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done. Turn the chicken over halfway through and then add the roasted poblanos (to prevent them from being overcooked). Add the remainder of the cilantro at the very end and add extra salt if needed. Once again, serve with warm tortillas.
