Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup plus 7 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, very thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, very thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
3/4 cup all purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat 3/4 cup oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté 3 minutes. Add all bell peppers, garlic, thyme, and sugar; sauté 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until vegetables are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes longer. Drain confit and cool; discard cooking oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Puree 1/2 cup bell pepper mixture, lemon juice, and 5 tablespoons olive oil in blender until smooth. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Bell pepper confit and sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Coat in flour; shake off excess. Sauté chicken in skillet until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until cooked through, turning once, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rewarm bell pepper confit over medium heat. Stir sauce over low heat just until heated through. Spoon bell pepper confit onto 4 plates.
  • Slice chicken diagonally and place atop bell peppers. Drizzle sauce around chicken and serve.

The chicken was cooked perfectly, but the vegetables were a bit undercooked. The sauce was also very good. I would recommend cooking the vegetables for a longer amount of time next time.
