Directions
To braise the chicken, salt, pepper, and sear both sides of the legs, then place in a shallow roasting pan and fill halfway with the chicken stock.
Cover with aluminum foil to form a seal and roast at 350℉ (180℃) Fahrenheit until done. (Juices run clear.)
In the meantime, sauté the peppers in the oil, and add the garlic, lime juice, cilantro and the jalapeno pepper cheese.,
When the chicken is ready, move to serving platter and top with the cheese to melt, and pour the creamy pepper sauce over the chicken.
