Number Of Ingredients 8

6 skinless boneless chicken thighs, each cut into 3 pieces
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 14 1/2-ounce cans chili-style chunky tomatoes in juice
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped

Steps:

Coat chicken on all sides with cumin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onion and sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
