Instructions
Lay 4 chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. (Or broil all 8 chiles on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Roast chiles, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered but not blackened, 4 to 6 minutes (do not over roast because chiles may fall apart).
Transfer immediately to a large plastic bag, then close to allow chiles to steam. Roast remaining chiles in same manner.
Cook onion in oil in a medium nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion begins to turn golden, about 4 minutes.
Add water and cook, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
Stir in chicken, salt, and pepper. Cool completely, then stir in cheese.
Cut a slit lengthwise in each chile and carefully remove seeds (leave stem attached).
Stuff filling into chiles through slits, keeping chiles intact.
Place chiles in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
Bake chiles in middle of oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
•Chiles can be stuffed 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
