Bistro Chicken With Peppers

Recipe #104265 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

This recipe is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe and refined with changes in the seasonings to enhance the flavor of the otherwise bland chicken breast. It is delightfully easy to prepare and results in a dish with full complex flavors. Recipe serves two but can be doubled with no trouble. Reheats well for lunch the next day.

I enjoyed this recipe very much. It was an interesting combination of spices but the peppers in the sauce were a little more soggy than I prefer. It may have been because I used drumsticks instead of the chicken breasts I thought I had but didn't. The additional cooking time may have spelled doom on the peppers. When I cook this again, I use breasts as directed and reevaluate.

    I was so excited to find such a light and tasty chicken dish with so much flavor! I loved it! I had never broiled peppers before, so that was a first for me. Despite the directions, which in reading I thought would be time consuming, this recipe is very easy and quick to put together. I loved the flavors, the colors and the ease! Great recipe! Thank you so much for posting it!

    We thought this was delicious! Other than using shallots instead of onion (they are sweeter, and it is easier to get just 3 TBS), I followed the recipe exactly. The spice combination makes for a flavorful sauce-I served this over rice which worked in not losing any of it. I respectfully disagree with ladypit, I thought this was very easy and quick to put together. Thanks for posting !

    This recipe makes for a moist, nicely flavored and seasoned chicken dish. I flattened the chicken breasts to promote even cooking. Initially, thought there was going to be way to much sauce; however, the liquid cooked down nicely and produced just the right amount to pour over the chicken and rice. This was served on top of short grain brown rice with a side salad for a filling, healthy meal.
