Chile Chicken

Submitted by Twiggyann

"I ran across this recipe over 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with it. To cut it down for only 2 people I use 2 chicken breasts and 1-2 onions and 1 bell pepper but I keep the full amount of spices. If you like spicy foods, I hope you try this."

Anytime I see 'onions' my ears perk up. :) Fantastic chicken dish, and so quick and easy. The only change I made, was to leave out the cumin. (we don't like each other) I'll be making this again often. Thanks Twig #2 for another wonderful recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2009.
