Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Whole chicken breasts -or-
4 Boneless chicken halfbreasts
¼ cup Olive oil
1 Clove (large) garlic; crushed
2 teaspoons Minced fresh rosemary or
1 teaspoon Dried leaf rosemary
3 tablespoons Finely minced Jalapenos; fresh or pickled
3 tablespoons Caribe (crushed N. New Mexico hot red chile)
1 tablespoon Pickled green pepercorns; crushed
¼ cup Unsalted butter
1 medium Green bell pepper
1 medium Red bell pepper

Directions

Make these tender, juice chicken breasts as fiery or tame as you wish by adjusting the quantity of chiles and pepper you use. If using whole chicken breasts, split in half and remove bones. Remove skin from the 4 half breasts and beat very thin. Brush chicken generously with oil (reserve remaining oil), then sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, jalapenos, caribe and green peppercorns; press seasonings into meat. Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet, add reserved oil not used for brushing chickens. Cut bell peppers in long, thin strips. When oil is very hot, add bell peppers and cook until limp. Add chicken; cook until golden on bottom, then turn and cook until second side is golden & meat is no longer pink in center. Serve on warmed plates. Makes 4 servings.
