Well you all know about my pepper obsession, so here is another great dish that will make your palate salivate. If you are sensitive to spice, use less chili powder. Make sure to get pasture-raised, organic chicken whenever possible. This is important because there are a ton of food label claims that confuse the consumer. Pasture-raised means the animal was raised on a pasture where it was able to eat nutritious grasses and other plants. Many chickens are fed grain in a feedlot or barn and don’t get much access to sunlight.

Animals are able to move freely and behave in a traditional manner when they are pasture-raised. It’s a bit different than “grass-fed.” Grass-fed animals are not fed grain, animal by-products, synthetic hormones, or antibiotics to promote growth or prevent disease. They may be given antibiotics to treat disease. These chili, lime kabobs could be your go-to meal for the night! Add other veggies, like jalapeños to spice up this dish. Literally!
