Grow Hot Peppers

This spicy chicken recipe is easy to make, takes less than an hour to complete and can be made mildly hot with a jalapeno or very hot with an habanero pepper.

Ingredients:

1. Package of chicken thighs (can substitute breasts)
2. Chicken broth
3. Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
4. Half a jalapeno and/or half an habanero seeded and chopped (leave a few seeds in if you love the heat like I do!)
5. Half an onion or a whole shallot chopped
6. Olive oil

Steps:

1. Place 1 to 2 tbsp of olive oil in a saute pan and heat for a minutes on medium
2. Lightly season both sides of the chicken thighs with the salt and pepper
3. Place the chicken pieces in the pot and allow it to brown on one side between 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the pieces over and repeat the browning process. Place the chicken on a plate when done.
4. Add your chopped peppers and onions to the pan and allow them saute for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Add your chicken back to the pan and pour the chicken broth inside so that the level reaches the top of the chicken.
6. Cover your pan, turn the heat to low and allow the chicken to continue cooking for 30 to 40 minutes.
7. Place the chicken on a plate and spoon some of the broth over it. Position some of the chillies and onions over the top of the chicken.

Extra Credit:

If you have a cold or stuffed up sinuses, shred the chicken, place it in a bowl and add more chicken broth to create a hot, delicious soup. You will be breathing well again in no time!

Enjoy!
