Recipe ingredients and directions:
Braised Chicken with Chiles
3 green chiles, skinned, seeds removed, chopped
3-lb chicken, cut up
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 onion, slice
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter and oil and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a
time. As the chicken browns, remove and keep warm. Add the onion
rings and saute until soft.
Add the broth, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and chile and bring to a boil.
Put the chicken back in the pan, cover with the stock, reduce the
heat, and simmer until the chicken is done — about 45 minutes.
Variation: Make a stew by adding coarsely chopped onions, tomatoes,
and corn while the chicken is simmering.
Note: Fresh tropical fruits such as pineapple, papaya, or mango
along with baked yams will complete this easily prepared chicken
dish.
