Devilish Chicken Bell Peppers Recipes

CHICKEN AND PEPPERS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat, and stir in the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and onion. Cook about 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in the garlic, and cook and stir about 1 minute. Mix in the basil and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
• Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Stir in remaining balsamic vinegar just before serving.

COLD PAPRIKA-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MARINATED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals over one side of grill and scatter remaining coals over the other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and the remaining burners to medium-low heat). Clean and lightly oil grate. Grill peppers over hottest part of grill, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool.
• While the bell peppers cool, mix paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, then toss chicken pieces in spice mixture to coat. Arrange chicken pieces, skin side down, over hottest part of grill and grill, turning halfway through, until lightly charred, 5-10 minutes. Move chicken to cooler part of grill, cover with lid, and continue to grill, turning several times (keep covered), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F for breasts and 155°F for thighs and drumsticks, 15-25 minutes longer (the chicken temperature will increase about 5°F as it rests). Transfer chicken pieces to a rimmed baking sheet as they are done (smaller pieces will go more quickly) and let cool.
• Remove skins and seeds from bell peppers; discard. Tear flesh into about 2"-wide strips. Toss in a clean large bowl with Master Vegetable Marinade and oregano and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour.
• Toss chicken and marinated bell peppers (minus juices in bowl) together on a platter. Pour juices over chicken. Serve with Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Chicken can be grilled and bell peppers can be marinated 1 day ahead. Cover and chill separately. About 1 hour before serving, remove chicken and bell peppers from the fridge and let sit at room temperature to warm up a bit.

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.

BELL PEPPER DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a wide pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes.
• Drain the eggs and run under cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
• Mash the egg yolks in a bowl with the mayonnaise, relish and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the bell peppers.
• Spoon the filling into the egg whites. Top with more bell peppers.

• Combine the chicken mixture, chips, ham, and egg; mix well. Fill peppers with the mixture.
