Chicken breast with peppers: a quick recipe

Chicken breast with peppers is a dish that embodies the essence of Italian home cooking.

This recipe is a riot of flavors and colors, with the tender chicken breast and crunchy peppers coming together in a delicious combination. Here's what you need to prepare this delicacy (we chose a hybrid but delicious recipe).

Chicken ingredients with peppers in a pan

• 2 organic chicken breasts
• 2 peppers (preferably one red and one green for a pop of color)
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup peeled tomatoes, chopped
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (to taste for garnish)

Method

Preparing the chicken breasts: Start by preparing the chicken breasts. You can cut them in half to make them thinner and more uniform or into cubes. Season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Brown the chicken: In a large nonstick skillet, heat a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the breasts to the top of a covered griddle to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.

Making the pepper sauce: In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then add the chopped onion and garlic. Fry until golden brown.

Adding the peppers and tomatoes: Cut the peppers into thin strips and add them to the pan with the onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the peppers are soft and starting to caramelize slightly.

Add the chopped peeled tomatoes and chicken broth. Mix everything well and let it cook over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Once the pepper sauce is ready, return the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, so that the chicken absorbs the flavors of the sauce.

Before serving, garnish your chicken breast and peppers with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of freshness and color.

This dish is perfect to enjoy hot or cold as a snack at work, perhaps accompanied by a portion of basmati rice or a side dish of grilled vegetables. The contrast between the softness of the chicken breast and the liveliness of the peppers will make every bite an unforgettable culinary experience.
