Chicken in Red Pepper Sauce 🍗

[Rain]

Hi guys, I want you to try this Chicken in Red Pepper Sauce. It is a flavorful and comforting dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Tender chicken breasts are simmered in a rich and creamy red pepper sauce, infused with garlic, onions, and aromatic spices. Serve this dish over rice or pasta for a satisfying meal that's sure to please the whole family.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the peppers are slightly softened and aromatic.
6. Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
9. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
10. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, if needed.
11. Garnish the Chicken in Red Pepper Sauce with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
12. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked rice or pasta, and enjoy the delicious flavors!

Sounds good, but have you ever tried adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce? It gives it a tangy kick that takes it to the next level...

Mmm, chicken in red pepper sauce sounds like a cozy and flavorful meal! I bet the tanginess of the peppers pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. Plus, it seems like a dish that's easy to make but still feels special. I'll have to give this recipe a try for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing!
