Chipotle peppers are smoked, dried jalapeño peppers. Using cayenne chipotle sauce (which is available in the condiment section of most grocery stores) adds a deep spicy flavour to this dish.
Ingredients
- 3 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) loosely packed coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) cayenne chipotle sauce or 1 tbsp (15 mL) each barbecue and hot sauce
- 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated lime peel
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
- 2 lbs (1 kg) skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 large onion, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 green pepper, chopped
Preparation
Pat excess oil from tomatoes using paper towel. Combine tomatoes, coriander leaves, chipotle sauce, chili powder and lime peel in a blender or mini chopper. Blend, adding up to 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, until smooth. Reserve.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place in pan and brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and add onion. Reduce heat to medium.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add green pepper and mix to combine. Return chicken and its juices to pan, placing on top of vegetables.
Spread chipotle mixture over chicken, using the back of a spoon. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the centre.
Makes 4 servings.
