Want a meal fit for the Romans? Then give this a try. I originally found this recipe online crafted by Giada De Laurentiis and decided to change it up just a little bit to better suit my needs. It has meat, peppers, bacon, onions, olive oil... What's not to like? Definitely a mans meal!
Ingredients
- 4-6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1 teaspoon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus 1 teaspoon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 3 ounces prosciutto or bacon, chopped (I used turkey bacon)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 diced roma tomatoes
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions:
- Start off by heating up the olive oil in a large non-stick pan on medium heat. While it heats season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Then cook chicken long enough to brown on each side, about 3 mins each, then remove the chicken and set aside for later.
- Next, with the pan still set to medium, add in the peppers and proscuitto and cook until the peppers have browned and the proscuitto have crisped.
- Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two, then add the roma tomatoes, wine, and spices. Once the mixture returns to a boil add in the chicken and chicken stock and once again bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer covered for 20-30 minutes, to fully cook the chicken. Once finished add in the parsley and serve.
