Description
This chicken in guajillo sauce with nopales is a traditional Mexican dish that I love to prepare. The combination of tender chicken with the guajillo chili sauce and nopales is simply delicious. The nopales, with their slightly slimy texture, give the dish a unique touch. It is perfect for a family meal or a special dinner. The preparation takes a little time, but the result is worth it. Go ahead and try it! You can accompany it with white rice or corn tortillas. In addition, it is a healthy and nutritious option, ideal to include in your diet.

Initial preparation of the nopales
Clean and chop the nopales into cubes, rectangles or thin strips. Place them in a bowl with cold water for 5 minutes. Drain and reserve.
Cooking the nopales
In the Thermomix bowl, add 3 cups of water, a little salt and a small piece of onion. Place the nopales in the simmering basket and program 5 Min./Varoma/Speed 1.
Drain the nopales
Remove the simmering basket with the nopales and let them rest on a strainer to drain the slime. Reserve.
Preparation of the ingredients for the sauce
Place the garlic cloves, the piece of onion, the tomato and the guajillo chilies (clean and without stem) in a pan and roast them until they are well browned.
Elaboration of the sauce
Place the roasted ingredients in the Thermomix bowl. Add 1 cup of hot water, salt and pepper to taste. Crush 3 Min./Speed 10.
Sauté the chicken
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Add the chicken in fajitas or in pieces, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-6 minutes over medium-low heat.
Incorporate the nopales
Add the previously cooked nopales to the chicken in the pan and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the sauce and cook
Pour the guajillo chili sauce over the chicken and nopales, passing it through a strainer first. Incorporate 1/4 cup more of water or chicken broth. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes.
