JALAPENO CHICKEN
Given to me by a friend who loves to experiment with recipes. A little kick of Southwestern cooking. Not too spicy, but can be made so with a little bit more jalapeno or other spices for an extra bit of 'kick.'

Steps:
- Puree jalapeno pepper, garlic, shallot, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Add parsley and thyme; process again to integrate.
- Rub the jalapeno pepper mixture evenly onto the chicken thighs, place onto a platter and cover with plastic wrap; marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken thighs in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter, retaining drippings in the skillet.

CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN STIR FRY
I created this stir fry when my husband was on a chipotle kick. It is healthy with lean protien, fiber, and veggies. I've substituted baby corns for the canned corn with success as well. You could use fresh jalapenos instead of the canned chilis too! Make it as hot as you want with the chipotle pepper!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice; set aside.
- Heat a wok until hot; add half of the oil, then add the chicken; stir-fry until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes; remove from the wok using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in the wok; toss in the eggplant; stir-fry until golden and tender,5-6 minutes; remove from wok, drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Add garlic, chili, and lime leaves to the wok; stir-fry 30 seconds, then return the chicken and eggplant to the wok, followed by the fish sauce mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Season to taste with salt and serve topped with basil leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder, or try a more complex marinade like the one in the recipe.
- Use a hot skillet: When stir-frying, it's important to use a hot skillet so that the chicken cooks quickly and evenly. If the skillet is not hot enough, the chicken will steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the skillet. If the skillet is too crowded, the chicken will not cook evenly and will end up steamed instead of fried.
- Stir-fry in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of chicken to cook, you may need to stir-fry it in batches. This will help to prevent the skillet from becoming overcrowded and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to stir-fries. Choose vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy eating.
- Add the sauce at the end: When stir-frying, it's best to add the sauce at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their freshest and most flavorful.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried jalapeno lime chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and colorful. The lime and jalapeno add a bright and spicy flavor that is sure to please everyone at your table.
