If the crowd is coming to your house for football (and food), serve Sweet & Spicy Tomato & Pepper Chicken Stew, a chicken stew recipe that easily can be doubled to accommodate more guests. The basis of this dish is boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat, flavored with garam masala (a blend of round spices such as coriander, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise and/or chilis used in Indian cooking), nutmeg, garlic, ginger and vinegar. This is another terrific one-dish meal that works particularly well served on a buffet.
