Categories     main-dish

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.
  • 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.

CHICKEN WITH A RED PEPPER CREAM SAUCE



Chicken With a Red Pepper Cream Sauce image

Fresh herbs marinate the chicken all day, and then topped with a savory red pepper cream. Served over angel hair pasta lightly tossed with olive oil, basil, and grated parmesan. If you can't get fresh herbs, please feel free to use dry herbs for the marinade. Just use 1 teaspoon dried vs. 1 tablespoon of fresh. Also, by all means, substitute turkey breasts, pork tenderloin or cut a tenderloin in thick slices, or even use chicken thighs (boneless skinless). Secondly, this is great on fish, but obviously you only want the fish to marinade for just a couple of hours, depending on the thickness. You don't want to over power the fish flavor.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 7h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken breasts
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 tablespoons roasted red peppers (pureed)
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 lb angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil, and chopped

Steps:

  • Marinade -- In a large baggie, add the first 8 ingredients and toss well until the chicken is well coated. Let marinade all day.
  • After marinating all day, remove and let come to room temperature. As the chicken rests, make the red pepper cream sauce. Add the red peppers to a mini food processor and puree. Add to the heavy cream in a small pan and cook on medium low for about 20 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken. Before serving, add a little black pepper to the sauce.
  • Chicken -- Grill the chicken, inside or outside. Grill until golden brown. About 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. This can also be pan seared if you prefer to do that method. Once cooked, remove and cover with foil.
  • Pasta -- As the chicken rests, cook the pasta accordingly in a large pot of boiling water. It only takes 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the olive oil, grated parmesan, pepper and fresh basil.
  • Serve a bed of pasta topped with your chicken breasts sliced and then top with the red pepper cream.

ROASTED RED PEPPER CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce image

A light and creamy sauce with puree of roasted red peppers as the base. It is excellent on any type of pasta, but tortellini or ravioli seems to be the best match. The prep time is rather long, but the result is definitely worth it. Freezes well. In fact, the taste may improve slightly.
