Braised Chicken with Chiles

Ingredients

 * 3-4 green chiles, skinned, seeds removed
 * chopped 3-lb Chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
 * 2 tbsp butter
 * 1 tbsp peanut oil
 * 1 Onion, sliced and separated into rings
 * 1 cup chicken broth
 * 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg salt
 * 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.
