Baked Chicken with Balsamic Peppers

Someone mentioned "Paleo Diet" last week and curious me was on the internet the whole week reading about this diet and Paleo recipes.

I saw this chicken recipe and decided to try it last night. I bought the ingredients, sent the recipe to the BF and told him that he is making dinner :). The BF did a great job on this... it is so yummy good.

This is a easy recipe.. good for weekdays. We served the chicken with some green beans and brown rice. So good !

Ingredient

4 large ripe bell peppers: red, green, orange, yellow; cored and sliced thin

1 large sweet onion, sliced thin

1/3 cup organic balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons gluten-free Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup or so chicken broth

6 fresh cloves of garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon rosemary

4 fresh, organic free-range split breasts of chicken, rinsed and patted dry

Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.

2. Toss the pepper and onion slices in a large bowl. In a large measuring cup, fork-stir your sauce using: balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, olive oil, broth, chopped garlic, and herbs. Pour the sauce over the sliced peppers and onions and toss well to coat.

 

3. Place the split chicken breasts in the bottom of a baking pan sprayed with olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the balsamic pepper mixture over the chicken and arrange them evenly. Use every last drop of sauce.

 

4. Loosely cover the pan with a piece of foil and place in the center of a pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Spoon the sauce all over the peppers and chicken breasts to keep everything happy and moist, recover it and continue to bake until everything is melt-in-your-mouth tender (depending upon the thickness of the chicken, and the size of your pepper strips, and your particular oven and altitude it could be an additional 10 minutes or 20 minutes).
