How to make this delicious Chicken

in Creamy Red Pepper Sauce

A jar of roasted red peppers that you puree with whatever blender gadget you have. I have a Nutri Bullet and love that thing. A food processor will do the job nicely as would an immersion blender. If you have no blender gadgets, you can simply mince the red peppers and have a heartier sauce.
