Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 24m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 jalapeno
1 red onion
1 red pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons garlic butter, store-bought
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup baby carrots or 1 carrot, sliced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (about 1 handful)

Steps:

  • Finely chop jalapeno, including seeds.
  • Slice onion into wedges.
  • Thickly slice pepper.
  • Cut each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 bite-sized pieces and place chicken in a bowl. Sprinkle chicken with cumin and pinches of salt and toss to coat.
  • Melt garlic butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add half of chicken and cook until light golden, (1 to 2 min per side).
  • Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken, adding more garlic butter if needed.
  • When all chicken is removed, add broth to pot.
  • Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any bits from pot bottom.
  • Add jalapeno, onion, pepper and carrots.
  • Return chicken and any juices to pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is springy when pressed, (10 to 12 min).
  • Sprinkle with cilantro.
  • If you like a thicker sauce, ladle chicken and veg into bowls and boil sauce until reduced slightly, (3 to 4 min).
  • Spoon over chicken.
  • Serve with rice.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was tasty. However, I would recommend reducing the amount of salt in the recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also a little bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much pepper.
