Categories     Basil     Chicken     Pepper     Tomato

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
2 tablespoons (divided) olive oil, salt and cracked black pepper to taste, drained capers (for garnish/optional)
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 jar (15 ounce) tomato and basil sauce (e.g. Classico)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pitted green olives, corsely chopped

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in oil and cook until chicken begins to turn white, about 3 or 4 minutes. Turn and cook until chicken is browned, 3 or 4 more minutes, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from skillet.
  • Add remaining oil to pan. Stir in onions and red and green bell peppers. Cook and stir until the onions are softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato-basil sauce; let simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the chicken to the pan and cook until chicken is heated through, a few minutes more.
  • Serve over hot rice or quinoa. Garnish with chopped cherry tomatoes, green olives, and capers.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful. I served it with rice and it was a perfect meal.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll reduce the amount of chili powder.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the chicken to be a bit dry.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I was pleasantly surprised. The olives added a nice salty flavor to the dish without being overpowering.
