Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeño, and garlic and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a blender, then add the chili pepper, cilantro, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme and blend until smooth. Return the puree to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens and turns dark green, about 5 minutes.
