Braised Chicken with Chiles

Ingredients

 * 1) 3-4 green chiles, skinned, seeds removed
 * 2) chopped  3-lb chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
 * 3) 2 tbsp butter
 * 4) 1 tbsp peanut oil
 * 5) 1 onion, sliced and separated into rings
 * 6) 1 cup chicken broth
 * 7) 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg Salt
 * 8)  pepper to taste

Directions
1)Melt the butter and oil and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time. As the chicken browns, remove and keep warm. Add the onion rings and saute until soft.

2)Add the broth, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and chile and bring to a boil. Put the chicken back in the pan, cover with the stock, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken is done -- about 45 minutes.

3)Variation: Make a stew by adding coarsely chopped onions, tomatoes, and corn while the chicken is simmering.
