"A tasty chicken stir-fry with a different kind of heat than a lot of Asian dishes, although this is not overwhelmingly "Asian" flavored- but it is nice and spicy. It's not particularly Southwest flavored either. Adjust the heat to your taste. Try to avoid using the green colored jelly in this unless you like green chicken. The red does look quite nice! I use the red "Fresno" type jalapenos in this as well, but you could use red Thai chilies, Just be aware that the Thai chilies are a bit hotter, so use quite a bit less. If you use red Jamaican Habaneros, you have my sympathies."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts across into large meallions, then toss with the flour that is well-seasoned with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the oil and half the butter in your wok, and stir-fry the chicken with the jalapeno slices until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Step 3
Add the lime zest and juice and continue to cook for about 30-45 seconds, stirring to coat the chicken.
Step 4
Then add the jelly with 2-3 tablespoons of warm water and stir until the jelly is dissolved and forms a glaze.
Step 5
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir-fry until it is incorporated, and serve.

Garnish with lime slices and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
