In a pot with water, cook the chicken with the onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt until cooked. Remove and reserve the broth. On a cutting board, shred the chicken. Set aside. In a deep skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion, garlic, tomatoes, serrano chili, cumin, allspice, and cilantro until they change color. Fill with chicken broth and cook until the vegetables break down and the liquid reduces. Cool slightly. Blend the previous preparation until you obtain a sauce. In a saucepan, heat the oil and cook the sliced onion until it is shiny, add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the sauce. Let it come to a boil and cook for 10 more minutes. Season to your taste. Serve the tinga and garnish with avocado and parsley leaves. Accompany with beans and corn tortillas.
