Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
2 lbs chicken breasts
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced, cored)
2 1/2 oz fresh baby spinach
salt & pepper to taste
16 oz jarred roasted red peppers (drained)
1/2 cup chicken stock or broth
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
8 fresh basil leaves
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Add 1 tbsp of oil to hot skillet on medium high heat. Add thinly sliced red peppers. Sauté until tender with some browning. Remove red peppers from the skillet and set aside.
  • Slice the chicken breasts horizontally. This will give you very thin cutlets so they'll cook faster and more evenly.
  • Add other 1 tbsp of oil to pan. Add chicken to the hot pan. Liberally salt and pepper the side facing up. Sauté until each side has some browning and chicken is cooked through or mostly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Lower heat to medium.
  • Add all Creamy Red Pepper Sauce ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour sauce into skillet. Add the red peppers, chicken, and spinach to your sauce. Cover. Let simmer on medium to medium low for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is warmed.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
1 red bell pepper, quartered
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
1 thick slice country bread, cut into cubes (1 1/4 cups)
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot and add the bell pepper and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to medium low; gently simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken and bell pepper to a plate using a slotted spoon; let cool. Shred the chicken.
  • Add the beans to the pot with the broth. Increase the heat to high, cover and cook until crisp-tender, 7 minutes. Transfer the beans to a colander using a slotted spoon, reserving the broth in the pot; rinse under cold water and let drain. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Meanwhile, lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes; remove to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the bread. Cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the garlic and bread to a blender or food processor along with the bell pepper, 1/2 cup of the warm broth, 1 tablespoon each capers and parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Puree until smooth; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the chicken to the red pepper sauce; season with salt and toss. Top each serving with the remaining capers and parsley; serve the green beans on the side, sprinkled with the almonds.

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced

  • 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.

VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE



Veal Scallopini in a Sweet Red Pepper Sauce image

This recipe has been in the family for generations. The meat is so tender and with the red pepper sauce, is so flavorful you'll want to make it at least once a week! I love serving this with a spring mix salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. Instead of scallopini, you can use veal cutlets and sometimes beef cutlets. The beef cutlets would take another 10 minutes longer cooking with the sauce.

Provided by CucinaItaliana

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds veal cutlets
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying, or as needed - divided
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Pound veal cutlets a few times with a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to cover the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture and then in crumb mixture to coat. Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain cutlets on paper towels.
  • Heat 2 more tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet; cook and stir red bell peppers and onion in the hot oil until soft, about 8 minutes. Pour stewed tomatoes into vegetables and stir in water and sugar, dissolving sugar into the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Place veal cutlets into the sauce, cover, and simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 more minutes.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE



Roasted red pepper sauce image

This simple sauce is very versatile - perfect poured over roasted veg as well as chicken

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment, Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 red peppers
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 small shallot , roughly chopped
85ml vegetable stock
½ tsp sugar , to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 45 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and put into a plastic bag - this makes them sweat and the skins slip off more easily. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins with your fingers. Slice the peppers open, pick out and discard all the seeds and membrane, then roughly chop the red flesh.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic and shallot for a few mins. Add the chopped peppers and continue to fry for a few mins, stirring to combine everything. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then allow it to reduce a little.
  • Pour the contents of the pan into a blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Depending on the ripeness of the peppers, you shouldn't need any sugar - but if they retain a slightly bitter flavour, return the sauce to the pan, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve over the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.

CRISP COCONUT CHICKEN WITH ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SAUCE



Crisp Coconut Chicken with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce image

Categories     Blender     Chicken     Bake     Roast     Valentine's Day     Coconut     Bell Pepper     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 red bell pepper, roasted and chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
cayenne to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 whole skinless boneless large chicken breast (about 10 ounces), halved
all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and black pepper for dredging the chicken
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg with 1 teaspoon water
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dry Sherry

Steps:

  • In a blender purée the bell pepper with the lemon juice, the sugar, the cayenne, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste until the sauce is smooth. In a small bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the ginger, and the mustard and spread the mixture onto both sides of the chicken. In separate bowls have ready the seasoned flour, the egg wash, and the coconut. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and coat it thoroughly with the coconut, pressing the coconut to make it adhere.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it sauté the chicken for 2 minutes on each side, or until the coconut is golden. Add the Sherry, transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F. oven, and bake the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is just cooked through. Divide the sauce between 2 large plates and arrange the chicken on it.
  • To roast peppers:
  • Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or broil the peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them steam, covered, until they are cool enough to handle. keeping the peppers whole, peel them starting at the blossom end, cut off the tops, and discard the seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose ripe and flavorful peppers: The quality of your peppers will greatly impact the taste of the dish. Look for peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the peppers: This will help you get clean, even cuts and prevent the peppers from tearing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the peppers, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The peppers will start to lose their vibrant color and flavor if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This chicken in a red sweet pepper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice, pasta, or your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
