Now that's chicken

I hardly ever buy meat here, mostly because the cheese and produce are so good.  And, all the wonderful tamales and rellenos lovingly prepared by the aubuelas in the markets, often filled with chicken or pork, are too good to not get.  So really there is not much need to do serious cooking, but every now and then....  This is the lady from whom I buy my chicken and she has the reputation of having the finest in all of the Etla.  You can see how fresh it is.  I, of course, made the mistake of asking for two breasts, thinking like a gringo, where we think of those nice packaged half a breast as a whole breast.  So when she began expertly chopping of the bird, I realize I was really going to get two full breasts and each one was big enough to feed a family of four.  Look at the size of one (or two?) of them.

So it was back to make broth with one of them and to stir fry the other.  I am all set for a few days. And the flavor.... so good and rich... wow.  The chicken is so tasty here, I never buy it in the States, where it is pallid and nowhere near as flavorful.
