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 IN SWEET AND HOT PEPPER SAUCE



Chicken in sweet and hot pepper sauce image

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.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS



Chicken Stir-Fry With Mixed Peppers image

I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1 pound green peppers, with at least one of them a hot pepper such as an Anaheim
1/4 cup cashew pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
  • Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use a mix of bell peppers (such as red, yellow, and orange) for a variety of colors and flavors. Look for peppers that are firm and have smooth skin.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers into thin strips or chunks. Remove the seeds and ribs to reduce the heat level.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
  • Cook the chicken over high heat: Sear the chicken in a hot wok or skillet until browned on all sides. This helps lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, add the peppers and sauce to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken in Sweet Pepper Sauce is best served hot, over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Chicken in Sweet Pepper Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and tasty meal. The combination of sweet peppers, savory chicken, and tangy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more flavorful and enjoyable.
