Directions:
-
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and lightly spraying it with olive oil.
-
-
Season the chicken breast halves with salt and pepper to taste, then carefully add them to the skillet.
-
Brown the chicken on both sides until they are cooked through and golden brown, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (about 6-8 minutes per side).
-
Once the chicken is nicely browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet, allowing it to infuse its aromatic flavor into the dish.
-
Next, gently place the sliced roasted red peppers into the skillet with the chicken and garlic. These vibrant peppers will add a delightful sweetness and smokiness to the dish.
-
Pour in the white wine vinegar, starting with 1/4 cup and adjusting according to your taste preferences. The acidity of the vinegar will enhance the flavors of the chicken and peppers, creating a mouthwatering sauce.
-
Let the ingredients simmer together for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Before serving, garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
-
Serve your Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers hot alongside your choice of pasta or rice, allowing the flavors to mingle and create a truly satisfying meal.
Tips:
- For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in the white wine vinegar and minced garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
- To make this dish even heartier, add your favorite vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce over the finished dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making this recipe perfect for meal prepping or enjoying as a quick lunch option.
