For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the habanero pepper before slicing. Always handle habanero peppers with care, wearing gloves if necessary, and avoid touching your eyes. If you don't have a broiler, you can grill the chicken over medium-high heat or pan-fry it in a skillet with a little oil. Serve with a side of mango salsa or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast to the spicy chicken.
