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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 sweet red peppers, seeded and roughly chopped (approx ¾ -1 lb)
2 -3 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons slivered almonds or 3 tablespoons ground almonds
1 -2 red chili pepper, roughly chopped,seeds removed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts or 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium zucchini, finely cubed
salt and pepper
1/2 cup torn basil leaves
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
12 ounces penne pasta
freshly grated parmesan cheese, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the first 6 ingredients in your blender or food processor and process into a paste/pulp.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan or Dutch oven, when hot enough pour the pepper paste in and on a medium high heat fry for 10 minutes.
  • Add the milk and chicken stock.
  • Then add the chicken and stir, add the zucchini a few minutes later.
  • Bring to the boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10- 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • In the meantime cook the pasta according package instructions, drain when cooked, and put in a large warm dish.
  • Check the seasoning of the chicken dish, If you find the sauce too thick you can add some more chicken stock, it depends how much moisture the zucchini will release, add half of the basil, mix and put half of the chicken on top of the pasta, mix, then pour over the remaining.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the basil on top together with the pine nuts.
  • Serve.

This is my new favorite chicken recipe! It's so easy to make, and the chicken is always moist and flavorful. The sauce is also delicious, and it's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken turned out dry and tough. The sauce was good, though.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce was too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.
