"I got this recipe from my mom, who in turn got it from a friend, who in turn got it from www.foodandwine.com. It is extremely flavorful!! It also freezes very well. You could use boneless, skinless chicken breast in lieu of the thighs and it would be just as wonderful."

Easy to make. Has the right amount of spice blend to make it pack a spicy punch, but not overwhelming

I am a stay at home mom of two wonderful little boys, Alex and Andrew. Cooking and Baking are my two favorite hobbies, and it's a good thing because I do it a lot!! My husband can be somewhat picky so when I find a recipe that he likes, it immediately goes into my "keeper" file. I'm a big believer in cooking healthy meals that are both good for you AND delicious. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good dessert, as you can see by my chocolate marshmallow brownie recipe!!! But everyone deserves to splurge every now and then. It's just all about moderation. I also enjoy staying fit by doing aerobics and yoga. I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, boating and riding my bicycle. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
