Each year, when vegetable season comes around, I tell myself that I am going to garden and actually be good at it. I head to the store, buy starters, get them planted in the ground or pots, and away I go! Well, each year, within a few weeks, I realize that I do not have a green thumb. I either over water, don’t water enough, place them in areas with too much sun, not enough sun, etc. Needless to say, they don’t thrive.
This past Spring, I was at the store and saw jalapeno plants. These were quite large and already planted. How can I mess them up when they are already done for me, right? Well, I am proud to say….my jalapeno plant is thriving! Tons of jalapenos have come off of it, it is green still and not shriveled up and brown, etc. Yea!!
When I went outside last week to water, I noticed lots of jalapenos were ready to be picked off my plant. So, for dinner that night, I chopped up several jalapenos and made this yummy jalapeno popper chicken. My hubby grilled it and it was exciting having the family enjoy something that I was actually able to grow, he-he!!
If you love jalapenos, this chicken is a must try. Not too spicy, packed with flavor, and quite easy to prepare!!
