Braised Chicken with Chiles
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
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.
