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.
- Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
- When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
- Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.

Steps:
- Make negimaki:
- Remove "tenders" from chicken if necessary (see above note). Pound breast halves ‚ inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. On a work surface arrange 1 breast half, smooth side down, with a long side facing you and put 1 scallion (or 2 if very thin) lengthwise on chicken. Roll chicken around scallion and tie with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals. Trim scallion flush with chicken. Make 7 more rolls in same manner.
- Mince garlic and in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold rolls in one layer stir together garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add rolls, turning them to coat. Marinate negimaki, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
- Make sauce:
- Coarsely chop bell pepper and in a blender purée with white vinegar. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and stir in sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste. Simmer sauce 5 minutes and cool. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
- Spread sesame seeds on a sheet of wax paper. Remove negimaki from marinade, letting excess drip off, and roll in sesame seeds to coat. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook negimaki in 2 batches, turning them occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes, adding remaining tablespoon vegetable oil to skillet as necessary. Transfer negimaki as cooked to a cutting board and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, discarding string.
- Push skewers through sesame seed-coated edge of slices. Serve negimaki warm or at room temperature with dipping sauce.

The was originally from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian cookery. Over the years I have added and taken away bits, but the colour is still great and the flavours unchanged. Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients, it is very quick to make.

SAUTEED CHICKEN AND RED PEPPERS
Sometimes cooking for one can be a bit of a pain. This is a favorite dish of mine; it's quick, simple, delicious, and a great way to use leftover chicken. Serve on a bed of rice, couscous, or noodles or for a low-carb option, omit the starch.

CHICKEN NEGIMAKI
The simplest way to keep white-meat chicken moist and make it flavorful is to put fat and flavor inside - to stuff it. Here is a chicken-cutlet take on negimaki, the Japanese dish of thinly sliced beef rolled around scallions. You need only briefly cook the scallions in soy sauce and mirin before wrapping some pounded-out chicken cutlets around them. Then baste the chicken with more sauce while it's cooking, either on the grill or in a broiler, so the salty-sweet glaze permeates the chicken from both inside and out. It takes a little time to pound and roll up chicken cutlets, but not nearly as much time as marinating, and the results are not only more functional but also far more interesting.

Steps:
- Put soy sauce, mirin, garlic and scallions in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare charcoal or gas grill; heat should be medium and rack about 4 inches from fire. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Remove scallions from soy mixture with slotted spoon and divide evenly among chicken cutlets: Turn wide side of each cutlet to face you and put 2 or 3 scallions on edge closest to you, with some scallion sticking out of each end. Roll each cutlet up like a jelly roll and secure in two or three places with toothpicks or butcher's twine. Brush chicken rolls with sesame oil.
- Grill chicken, brushing occasionally with remaining soy mixture and turning each piece once or twice, until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. To check for doneness, cut into a piece with a thin-bladed knife; center should be white or slightly pink. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature with lemon or lime wedges.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a more flavorful negimaki, marinate the chicken in the soy sauce, sake, and mirin mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- If you don't have bamboo skewers, you can use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- To make the spicy red pepper dipping sauce, use a blender to puree the roasted red peppers, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds until smooth. Then, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar and blend until combined.
- Serve the chicken negimaki with steamed rice and a side of the spicy red pepper dipping sauce.
