Tips
You can purchase roasted red peppers in a jar at most grocery stores or you can easily roast your own. To roast a pepper simply place a dry pepper directly under the broiler and broil, turning occasionally until blackened on all sides. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let steam for about 15 minutes. Remove the pepper and peel off the skins and discard the stem and seeds. Roasted peppers will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. Great for salads, soups, meats, poultry - just about anything!
For this recipe you can use leftover chicken or simply sauté a boneless, skinless chicken breast in a little olive oil and butter until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
