Ready to serve!

 

In a world full of food no’s, this Chicken in Creamy Red Pepper Sauce is a big old yes!  

Store bought roasted red peppers are the base of this lovely dish .  This recipe makes a ton of sauce.  Don’t you hate making creamy recipes that never have enough sauce?  I have that problem with homemade frosting…why is there never enough frosting?  Or filling?  There is never enough filling….so glad I have a blog to change all that!

 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.

Pouring cream into blender with roasted red peppers to blend.

Red Pepper Sauce: Easy to make in your blender!

Pour the blended sauce over your seared chicken and simmer!  Its that easy!

Don’t you love my new pan…I LOVE my new pan!  I bought it from of Amazon.  

 I have many many plans for this pan.  Big Pan Plans! Huuuuuge plans.

Pouring sauce over chicken. Delish!

 

Sprinkle with feta, goat cheese or parmesan cheese and serve with pasta if you like.  

There is plenty of sauce for it!  We like our sauces around here and this makes a ton!

Top with feta, and garnish with rosemary. SO MUCH YUM.

You can use whole chicken breasts, or cutlets.  If using cutlets simply reduce the simmer time a bit checking for doneness after 8-9 minutes.

This recipe easily doubles or triples to feed a crowd.  You can use this sauce for fish as well.

Other great recipes that includes roasted red peppers and a shot of cream is our  Gnocchi Sausage Soup .

Or forget the chicken and just go with pasta!    Roasted Red Pepper Fettuccine with Creamy Feta!

    Loved this! How many days in advance can I make the sauce and keep in the refrigerator?

      Thank you Shana! Personally, this is one of my favorite recipes on our blog. I make it at least once a month…the sauce goes on everything! So nice of you to leave a note!

    Can’t wait to try this! Any idea if I can replace the heavy cream with Greek yogurt?

      Yes, I think it would be good! You might have to thin it a bit if it’s too thick. Just a tablespoon of water or chicken stock should do it. Could you let us know how it turns out please? Great calorie cutting tip!

    This was delicious and incredibly easy. It really was only 10 min of prep and the 20 min of simmer time was totally hands off. We ate this with Seeds of Change Brown Rice and Qinuoa with Garlic from Costco and it was fantastic!
