Chicken With Baby Bell Peppers Recipes

AUNT JULES' BALSALMIC CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and drizzle the olive oil into the hot skillet. Cook and stir 4 garlic cloves just until fragrant, about 1 minute, smashing them into the oil with a spoon as you stir. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and brown them in the hot oil until the surface is golden and the meat is no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter and keep warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, and scrape up any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in 2 more cloves of garlic, the green, red, and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and asparagus, and cook and stir until the vegetables are brightly colored and softened, about 10 minutes. Toss the spinach leaves with the hot vegetables to just wilt the spinach. Divide the cooked vegetables between 4 serving plates, and top each plate with a chicken breast.
• Stir the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar into the skillet over medium-low heat, stirring until the vinegar comes to a full boil and the sugar has dissolved. Cook the mixture until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes; spoon the balsamic sauce over each chicken breast to serve.

CHICKEN WITH BABY BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler with an oven rack set about 4 inches from the heat source.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until light brown specks start to form and the butter starts to smell nutty, about 5 minutes. Pour immediately into a large mixing bowl, being sure to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Spread the peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until lightly blistered and just starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the browned butter. Add the Pecorino-Romano, lemon juice, pepper flakes, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss lightly.
• Drizzle a second baking sheet with oil. Arrange the chicken cutlets on top in one layer. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle the tops of the cutlets with the oil. Broil until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the chicken and peppers between 4 plates and serve sprinkled with Pecorino-Romano.
