A flavorful and spicy chicken dish that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or rice.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly bubbling before adding the chicken.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Slice the habanero peppers and add them to the skillet.
Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid skin irritation.
Pour in the water and cayenne pepper sauce, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and ground red pepper.
Stir gently to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest part to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken hot with the sauce drizzled over your choice of side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
