Quick and Easy Dinner Idea

One of my favorite kind of friends, is the friend who shares recipes. I am lucky enough to have several of them.  I walk twice a week with a friend and we often talk about what we are going to fix for dinner that week or what we have fixed.  We text recipes back and forth. When my friend mentioned this delicious recipe for chicken and peppers, I knew I needed to give it a try.

This recipe fits all of my criteria for a weeknight meal.  It is quick and easy and it is delicious.

How to Make Chicken and Peppers

  • Use a combination of red, orange and yellow peppers but you could throw green into it also.  Cut peppers into slices.
  • Cook chicken in olive oil until cooked through.  Set aside.
  • Saute peppers and onions in olive oil until softened.  Add in garlic, basil and 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar.

  • Add in the chicken into the peppers along with the remaining balsamic vinegar and stir to coat and combine.
