Chicken with Pumpkin-Seed Mole

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 small serrano chile
• 1 small poblano chile
• 1 small white onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 cup cilantro leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
• 1/2 cup raw hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted (page 57)
• 2 cups homemade or reduced-sodium store-bought chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
• Coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)

1. Place chicken in a 4-quart pot, and add water to cover by 1 inch.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes.
4. Transfer chicken to a plate, and tent loosely with foil.
5. Discard water.
6. Roast both chiles directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat, turning with tongs, until blackened all over.
7. (Alternately, place chiles under the broiler, turning often, until skin has charred.)
8. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
9. Let steam 15 minutes.
10. Using paper towels, rub off skins, then remove stems, seeds, and ribs.
11. In a blender, puree roasted chiles, onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, cumin, oregano, toasted pumpkin seeds, and 1/2 cup broth to form a coarse paste.
12. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium.
13. Add chile paste, and cook, stirring constantly, until very thick, about 8 minutes.
14. (Reduce heat if mixture begins to scorch.)
15. Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups broth into paste until incorporated.
16. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the lime juice.
17. Add chicken to sauce in skillet.
18. Cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until just heated through, about 5 minutes (do not let simmer, or sauce will break, or separate).
19. With tongs, transfer chicken to a cutting board, let excess sauce drip back into pot, and slice in half crosswise.
20. Divide chicken evenly among four plates, spoon sauce on top, and garnish with cilantro sprigs.
