1 Peel onions. Cut 2 onions into quarters and coarsely chop remaining onion; set aside.
2 Bring 1 of the quartered onions, chicken, Knorr® Chicken flavor Bouillon and water to a boil in large stockpot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer briskly, covered, until chicken is done and wings and legs pull easily from body, about 45 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, arrange remaining quartered onion, garlic and tomatoes on foil-lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil, turning occasionally until lightly charred. Remove vegetables from baking sheet to large bowl as they char, about 12 minutes. Peel garlic cloves.
4 Toast cilantro, turning occasionally, until fragrant and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
5 Combine roasted vegetables, chilies, seeds, spices and herbs in large bowl, set aside.
6 When chicken is cooked, remove from stockpot and allow to cool. Remove 3 cups cooking liquid cool slightly. Add carrots and remaining chopped onion to stockpot and return to a simmer.
7 When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and coarsely chop or shred; set aside.
8 Combine roasted vegetable mixture in blender. Process in batches, adding reserved 3 cups cooking liquid as needed to make a smooth paste. Be very careful blending if the cooking liquid is hot. Stir into stockpot and return to a simmer.
9 Stir in potatoes and chayote and cook until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in chicken and heat through. Serve with brown rice or green salad.
