½ teaspoon salt
1 pound chicken breast (boneless and skinless, cut into long strips, 1-inch wide)
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 teaspoon sesame oil

SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN CHILI



Sweet & Spicy Chicken Chili image

I was inspired by Recipe #76861, but went crazy while making it again and changed it up quite a bit. For best flavor, make this the night before serving, so it can marinate. Note that we are not big meat-eaters, so if you like more meat, you should certainly add some. I also left this at a mild-spicy level, since I figured it would be easier for you heat-lovers to taste it as-is and add more as needed.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN



Sweet & Spicy Chicken image

This recipes comes from me trying to "fix" another recipe on the site but it ended up being a whole new recipe. I think it turned out very well, and It's something we really enjoy. Make it as sweet or spicy as you like by messing with the amounts of brown sugar (not the molasses!) and chili flakes. Enjoy! This recipe includes sauce for rice but be careful, if you cook it too long the chicken will soak up the sauce fast, if your looking for more of a sticky glaze, cook it a little longer and leave the lid off during most of the cooking. I have only made it sticky without the vegetables added, so if your worried about overcooking, wait to add or cook them separately. I would also suggest chopping into pieces when raw and pan frying the chicken to help seal it some so it doesn't break down as much when cooking. I would be wary reducing the amount of water to reduce cooking time, as it changes the flavor, and not for the better IMHO.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 -2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and chopped into large chunks
6 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (I like carrots, broccoli and water chestnuts)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 tsp minced jarred garlic)
1/2 cup apple juice
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon beef base (or beef bouillon granules)
1/8 cup cider vinegar, plus
2 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dark molasses
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Place all sauce ingredients in a large chefs pan or anything large with a lid.
  • Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly bubbly and combined.
  • Add chicken and vegetables, if desired, Stir to coat.
  • Cook on medium/high heat, covered, for 20-30 minutes (stirring every 10 minutes, more if its a pan that sticks) or until desired thickness is achieved and chicken (and veggies) are heated through.
  • I like it served over rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Organize and prepare all ingredients before starting to cook. This will ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to elevate the flavor of your Sweet Spicy Chicken Chili. Look for plump and ripe vegetables, tender chicken, and aromatic spices.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the chili creates a rich, caramelized flavor and texture. Make sure to brown the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Variety of Chili Peppers: Experiment with different types of chili peppers to achieve your desired level of heat. Some popular options include jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it to taste.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Allow the chili to simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to develop a deep and complex flavor. Simmering allows the spices and ingredients to meld together, creating a harmonious and flavorful chili.
  • Add Sweetness and Acidity: Balance the heat of the chili with a touch of sweetness and acidity. Honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup can be used to add sweetness, while lime juice or vinegar can provide acidity. Adjust the amounts to your taste preferences.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish your Sweet Spicy Chicken Chili with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese. Serve it hot with a side of crusty bread or cornbread for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
