Ingredients

  • 3-4 green chiles, skinned, seeds removed
  • chopped 3-lb chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp peanut oil

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg Salt

Directions

1)Melt the butter and oil and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time. As the chicken browns, remove and keep warm. Add the onion rings and saute until soft.

2)Add the broth, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and chile and bring to a boil. Put the chicken back in the pan, cover with the stock, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken is done -- about 45 minutes.
