Slice and place nectarines in the pan (last 2 minutes of cooking). Deglaze the pan with lemon juice. Cut chicken off the bone and slice to serve.
Sauté jalapeno sliced in half in corn oil with seeds. As soon as the lines begin to form in the pan (?) turn off heat, let pepper sit in the oil for a few minutes and then puree. Sauce for chicken.
Serve cherry tomatoes with the pasta: grill the red peppers with oil, salt, pepper. Julienne and quarter the tomatoes, toss with some jalapeno sauce.
