This also goes good with a touch of mango salsa. Delicious flavor. Not too hot but a warm flavor. A bit of chicken boulion in the rice also adds a rich flavour as long as sodium is not an issue.

I waited all week to make this for Saturday football and when I went to make it yesterday my chicken had gone bad, so I had to use porkchops instead and it was soooo good! We even had leftover porkchops for breakfast.
I can't wait to make it again, but with chicken!!This is a variation -

I made this for our Thanksgiving recipe competition. It was delicious. Definitely spicy, but the flavor doesn't burn or linger...but melts away. A very nice dish!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

Hi Daniel, I enjoyed the habanero chicken....I like the poached in butter method which left the chicken breast extremely moist and juicy. The flavors were very subtle (a good thing) despite its name.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

I made this recipe tonight for dinner...wow DELICIOUS! I love spicy food, so I decided to add 6 habaneros. I would suggest sticking to just 3 or 4...wow was it spicy. I loved the flavor though. Loved all of the onions, garlic spices and tomatoes on top.
I will be making this again! Thank you for this simple but very flavorful dish!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. I made it with a homemade mango salsa to serve over it. My husband still can't stop talking about it. He thinks the habanero butter should be put on everything...even popcorn!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

Amazing......made with chicken thighs as that is our preference over chicken breasts. Very easy to make; the addition of brown sugar adds a note of sweetness that is not overpowering but adds a nice note to contrast the heat of the habanero.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
