Recipe - Chicken-Beer-Pseudo-Fajita Thing

2 Dried smoked habaneros
1 Dried chipotle
One half teaspoon Thyme
One half teaspoon Basil; A bit less than
One half teaspoon Oregano; A bit less than
One half teaspoon Rosemary; A bit less than
Garlic and onion powder; as
you like
Salt
1 lg Chicken breast; or 2 small,
(I used boneless chicken
thighs, you can get them
frozen at Trader Joe's)
One half Bottle good
middleoftheroad beer;
(not Coors, not Guinness;
flat is OK)
Some mixedcolor bell
peppers; throw in Anaheims
if you got 'em, cut in
strips

Pulverize the spices in an *airtight* grinder. (I discovered the importance
of this one the hard way. I discovered last night that my food processor,
alas, is not airtight. The dogs, who up until then had been hanging around
waiting expectantly for a handout, left the kitchen at a quick run, and I
sneezed for a good fifteen minutes afterwards :) Completely coat the
chicken in the seasonings (use every bit!), fry in a good pan with a little
oil, then pour in the beer and simmer uncovered until it forms a sauce.

At this point take the chicken out, leaving whatever seasoning is still in
there, and fry the peppers. Toss the chicken back in to warm up, then fold
into good wheat tortillas and ENJOY.
