Steps:
- Finely chop jalapeno, including seeds.
- Slice onion into wedges.
- Thickly slice pepper.
- Cut each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 bite-sized pieces and place chicken in a bowl. Sprinkle chicken with cumin and pinches of salt and toss to coat.
- Melt garlic butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add half of chicken and cook until light golden, (1 to 2 min per side).
- Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken, adding more garlic butter if needed.
- When all chicken is removed, add broth to pot.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any bits from pot bottom.
- Add jalapeno, onion, pepper and carrots.
- Return chicken and any juices to pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is springy when pressed, (10 to 12 min).
- Sprinkle with cilantro.
- If you like a thicker sauce, ladle chicken and veg into bowls and boil sauce until reduced slightly, (3 to 4 min).
- Spoon over chicken.
- Serve with rice.
