This recipe usually is made with skin on chicken legs and thighs by substituting skinless boneless chicken breast makes the sauce less greasy. I like the Mexican Crema because it tends to be less sour the regular sour cream and the creme fraiche gives it an extra creaminess that tastes so smooth. The Black truffle sea salt sprinkled on top gives it a touch of earthiness. All in all a delicious super easy dish.
