ROXY'S SAUCE PIQUANTE
This is my mom's sauce piquante recipe (pronounced: pe-caw)...she hates being called Roxy though, so the title is a special little joke, just for her (love you mom :-) ). I used to HATE this as a kid (something about cooked bell peppers grossed me out), but my "adult tastebuds" love it! I've been meaning to make it at home, but I keep forgetting to bring the recipe home. Now it shall forever be immortalized in Recipezaar so I can access it from anywhere.

Steps:
- Sautee the veggies and garlic in the oil until tender.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices.
- Simmer 10 - 15 minutes.
- Taste for spiciness; add more of the 3 peppers if you want it hotter (but watch out because it gets hotter over time).
- Add the raw chicken and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over cooked rice (mom prefers Jasmine, which is more authentic, I believe; I use brown rice for everything).
- Special note from mom: "Really good as a left over, when the spices have had time to really mature.".
