Here’s a spicy delicacy that will have your taste buds asking for more.  I call it Spicy Chick-Chicken and no, I’m not stuttering.  Here are the ingredients that you’ll need:

A tablespoon or two of salted butter

A decent amount of jarred chopped garlic

At least 2 raw chicken breast cutlets

At least 1 cup of peppers (I used frozen red and yellow)

1 can of Chick peas/Garbanzo beans

½ to a 1 can of diced tomatoes

Ground Coriander Seed

Chipotle Chili Pepper*

Cilantro leaves

*A secret spicy seasoning that I used in this dish was RTG “Spicy Cajun Seasoning”.  This spice can be substituted for any “spicy as hell” dry seasoning that you might have.

First, grab a deep frying pan or pot.  Melt the butter, drop in a generous amount of chopped garlic (to your liking).  Cut up the chicken breasts and add to the garlic butter.  As this is cooking, start adding all the spices listed above.  As I mentioned above, I used something called RTG “Spicy Cajun Seasoning”.  The bottle looked pretty old and for the life of me, I have no clue how this seasoning made its way into our spice cabinet.  To be honest, it might have been left by the previous owners, so you might not even be able to find it in your grocery store any longer.  But tonight it was going into this chicken dish.

Next, add the frozen peppers.  Finally, add the can of chick peas/garbanzo beans and diced tomatoes.

This meal will have some “heat” on it.  But it’s sure damn tasty.  I paired this spicy chicken dish with a 2008 Argentinean Torrontes called Crios de Susana Balbo.  This white wine was amazing with this dish.

As usual, don’t knock it until you’ve tried!

Until the next time we run out of food… bon appétit fellow Poor Chefs!
