This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken I had in the fridge and it was delicious.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. It was still plenty flavorful.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they turned out great. I also added a little bit of honey to the sauce and it was perfect.
