- Serves:
-
6-10
ingredients
- 1 whole large chicken, boiled and boned
- 1 (16 ounce) jar of pickled mild banana wax peppers
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon Gebhardt® Chili powder
- 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
directions
- Boil and bone the chicken, reserve two cups of the broth. Finely chop the chicken and set aside. I use a food processor to do this. Take all the vegetable and mince or chop in a food processor. Sautee the minced peppers, onion, garlic and cumin until everything is nice and tender, then add the canned tomato. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the chicken, stirring well to mix evenly with the veggies. Add one cup of broth and simmer for about ten minutes to let the flavors mix. If it gets too dry, add the second cup of broth. Once it is heated, add the chili powder, stir in well, remove from heat and you are ready to serve in whatever way you choose.
- If you leave out the MILD banana wax peppers or the chili powder, you will lose 99 percent of the flavor.NEVER overcook chili powder or it will get bitter. Gebhardt's is a very mild chili powder, so if you can't find it, try to substitute with the mildest you can find.

Family-friendly flavor and texture, gusrod1948, and it's easily spiced up with more "heat" if desired. The mild banana wax peppers were easy to find at my local grocery. Loved all the suggested extras; avocado, sour cream, cheese, sliced jalapenos, lettuce, and chopped fresh tomatoes. We enjoyed it all with homemade tortilla chips #14578.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in the heart of Tex-Mex, in San Antonio, but I've lived in Dallas most of my adult life, since 1971.
My first career was in information technology but I retired from that and I am now doing general contracting in the construction industry.
Always liked working with my hands, and now I get to do more than I used to. I lived with a girl once upon a time, for almost a year and she gained a pound a month, eating my food. We certainly didn't split up because of my cooking.
My friends and family consider me to be a gourmet cook, but the trick I've learned is to try other people's recipes and then vary with a dash of this or that until it comes out to my own taste.
UPDATE Jan 29, 2008:
Haven't been on here in a while, but I've settled down and I'm now retired, giving my landlady hell and having fun with my grandkids and great-grandkids (4 already and another on the way!) I am now convinced that God created oysters, JUST FOR ME. LOL.
