Ingredients
  

  • 24 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breast 4 breasts total
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut into strips
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes, canned, no sugar added
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup parsley, fresh, chopped

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Saucepan
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear on each side until golden brown, remove from the pan and set aside. Note, the chicken does not need to be fully cooked.
  2. In the same pan the chicken was cooked in, add the remaining olive oil, red and yellow peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook just until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Return the chicken to the pan and bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender.
  4. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Tip 2: This dish freezes well! Make sure to cool it completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container. It can last for up to three months.
  • Tip 3: This recipe pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad, crusty bread, or a side of pasta tossed in olive oil.
  • Tip 4: Experiment with different herbs such as basil or oregano to give the dish your unique twist.
  • Tip 5: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, especially if you enjoy a bit of heat.
