Ingredients

2 cup chicken broth unsalted, defatted
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoon cumin ground
2 tablespoons pickling spices
1/2 each sweet red bell pepper sliced
1 pound chicken breasts halves boneless, skinless
1/2 each sweet yellow bell peppers sliced
2 tablespoons jalapeno pepper minced with seeds
1 medium onion halved, thinly sliced
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, fresh
3 tablespoons garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Use baked (no oil) tortilla chips.

Boil broth and pickling spice in heavy large saucepan ten minutes. Strain and return liquid to saucepan. Add chicken, onion, vinegar, garlic, oil and cumin to pan. Simmer over very low heat until chicken is just cooked through, about ten minutes.

Transfer chicken and onions to shallow dish. Top with bell peppers and minced jalapeno. Boil cooking liquid until reduced to 2/3 c, about ten minutes.

Pour liquid over chicken and let cool 30 minutes. Add cilantro to chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, turning chicken occasionally, about 4 hours (can be prepared one day ahead). Slice chicken and transfer to plates.

Top with marinated vegetables and some of the juices.

Celery Cranberry Relish

it was difficult for me to rate this recipe. i haven't yet prepared it because, although the directions call for lemon juice, no lemon juice is listed among the ingredients (so i have no idea even roughly how much to use.) however. i really,really like the inspiration. could anyone tell me how much lemon juice to use? thanks a million, lovedog
