If you don't like it hot, leave out the peppers and cayenne; I would think you end up with a nice sweet sauce but without "the kick". You can use parsley if you are not a basil fan.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 chicken breast fillets, flattened to 1/4-inch-thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (15.5 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 to 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream (or more to taste)
One 4-ounce chunk Parmesan, to shave
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.
  • For the red pepper sauce: Melt the butter and add the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.

  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: Chicken in sweet pepper sauce is traditionally served with rice or noodles. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce and makes for a complete meal.
