Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Chicken With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roast the Peppers: Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are charred and tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
3. Cook the Chicken: While the peppers are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and smoked paprika. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Sauce: Once the peppers are cool, peel the skin off and remove the seeds. In a blender, combine the roasted peppers, minced garlic, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the sauce into the same skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, coating them with the sauce.
6. Simmer: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, ensuring it’s heated through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
8. Serve: Your Mediterranean Chicken With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is now ready to be enjoyed!
