recipe: fiesta chicken

this was a throw-together meal of its finest. i was lacking ingredients, but had to had to use the chicken tenders thawed in the fridge and headed down a mexican path...


ingredients list:
- 8 chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 a red pepper, diced
- 1/2 a (small) onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilis
- 1/2 garlic powder
- dash cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- dried cilantro

to make: sautee chicken in vegetable oil over medium high-heat, flipping once. after chicken has been 'flipped', add the onion and red pepper and cook until the pepper and onion are soft. add garlic, chicken broth, green chilis, garlic powder, cayenne, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until broth has cooked down. add sour cream and salt & pepper to taste, and cook until the mixture has thickened. sprinkle with cheddar cheese and a few dashes of cilantro before serving.

i don't always have luck with throw-togethers, but this was yummy. i wish i had rice to serve it with b/c that would have been perfect. i think... 6.5 ******~. it's a bit spicy, so if you're not into that i'd cut back on the green chilis. for me it was just enough kicker.
