Notes
- Roasted red bell peppers: you can certainly roast your own, but I like to save time and purchase jarred roasted red peppers - you can find them in most grocery stores near the olives.
- Serving suggestion: my favorite way to serve this chicken is with a tossed green salad or toasted pita bread, and my Lemon Couscous (pictured in the plated photos of this chicken) or Creamy Parmesan Spinach Orzo.
