Roasted Red Pepper Chicken
Description
Chicken breasts are filleted into pieces and browned in butter to develop a golden crust. Garlic and diced roasted red bell peppers are then sautéed with chicken broth until tender, creating a flavorful base. Heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese are stirred in, melting to form a smooth, rich sauce seasoned with dried basil, salt, and pepper.
The browned chicken returns to the pan to warm through in the sauce, ensuring juiciness and flavor integration. The finishes yield a creamy, herb-scented dish with a balance of smoky-sweet pepper and savory cheese.
This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or vegetables, making it suitable for a variety of meals. It offers a flavorful chicken entrée with a moderately creamy and textured sauce enhanced by Parmesan.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container keeps the chicken good for up to five days. Using grated Parmesan rather than shredded cheese ensures smoother melting in the sauce. The sauce thickness can be adjusted by adding more broth if desired.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast filleted into 6 pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 jar red bell pepper 12 ounces, drained and diced, roasted
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon basil dried
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken, season with the salt and pepper and brown on both sides (4-6 minutes on each side). When those are brown on both sides, remove from the pan on a separate plate.
- Then add the garlic, red peppers and broth to the pan. Sauté on medium heat until the peppers are tender (approximately 5-6 minutes).
- Then stir in the heavy whipping cream and parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low to simmer. Whisk and cook until the cheese is melted and combined (2-3 minutes).
- Add the chicken to the pan, simmer for a few minutes to bring the chicken back to a warm temperature.
- Then remove from heat and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Use grated Parmesan cheese instead of shredded for a smoother melting and texture in the sauce.
- If the sauce is thicker than preferred, add additional chicken broth gradually to reach the desired consistency.
