Red Pepper Chicken
We’ve outgrown sugary bbq sauce and squeeze-bottle hot sauce. Enter the smoky heat of ancho and chipotle chiles blended with the richness of creamy butter. Add some rice and a green salad and weeknight dinner starts to feel like a weekend. The best part of this meal are the pan drippings. Don’t forget to scrape up the butter and crusty bits and pour it on top of the cooked chicken.
