Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup chocolate milk
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 jalapeños, stemmed and split lengthwise
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 chicken breasts
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine the chocolate milk, chili powder, jalapeños, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and the chicken thighs. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender.
While the chicken is cooking, add the oil to a large sauté pan over high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the zucchini and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is caramelized and soft, though not so soft that it's turning to mush. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic starts to caramelize a little. Serve
