Chicken with chiles


It is a chicken breast marinated in powerful chile powders, garlic, a little brown sugar, dry Sherry, which is actually wet. 

Odd the powders do not declare their dryness but the Sherry does, which makes Sherry a big fat liar, that or it exists in a reality so distorted that it's hardly worth the effort to bridge. 


Four kinds of chiles when you add them all up, two powders, one fresh, and one pickled. A tablespoon of the vinegary hot pickle juice is included in the sauce.


Vegetables and chicken seared in the same pan separately. Pan deglazed with the fortified wine. 

Sauce:

* butter
* dry sherry
* things stuck to the pan including spices that fell off and singed
* chicken stock
* heavy cream, probably two tablespoons. 

Conclusion: delicious but a challenge.

I would not offer this to you or to anybody. You would have to be a special proven non-complaining type. I know a few of those and they are my favorite people. This is what I made for myself and ate, but you have not proven yourself, so just forget it.
