Chicken with Peppers and Onions

I went to a local winter farmer's market and found Dines Farms.  It is a farm located in Oak Hill, NY that comes to Long Island farmer's markets.  I found the meat at the G & G Long Island Winter Farmers Market (http://www.winterfarmersmarketlongisland.com/).  I found wonderfully fresh chicken, lamb, duck and other meats available.  I purchased the sweet and spicy boneless chicken thighs.  The farmer recommended making them with peppers and onions so I did.  Here is the recipe I devised to show off this delicious chicken, which is locally raised and processed.  Please check out this farmers market and Dines Farms chicken.

Ingredients:

1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 red pepper, sliced thinly
2 green peppers, sliced thinly
1 large onion, sliced thinly
salt and pepper to taste
1.25-1.5 boneless chicken thighs, Dines Sweet and Spicy if you can
1/4 cup chicken stock

Here's how:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat.

Oil in pan
Thinly slice the peppers and onions.  Salt and pepper.

Add the peppers and onions to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stir occasionally, until softened and onions are translucent.

Peppers and onions in the pan
While the veggies cook, thinly slice the chicken and remove any fat on the chicken.

Dines chicken as it came from the market
Add the chicken and stock to the peppers and onions.

Chicken added to pan, thinly sliced, fat removed
Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked. 

Chicken is done, you can see the sauce at the bottom
Serve over rice.  The stock will create a thin broth that can go over the rice as well.

All of your food groups in one dish.  Enjoy.
