Roast Chicken with Balsamic Peppers
I was recently sent a copy of My Recipes America’s Favorite Food (see information about the giveaway at the bottom of this post) filled with delicious recipes from several of the country’s best magazines. There was a recipe for roast chicken with balsamic peppers that sounded simple yet gourmet. We loved the flavor that the rub gave the chicken and the softened peppers and onions in the balsamic sauce were delicious served on top of the tender chicken. I served this dish with the Grilled Vegetable Panzanella for a hearty, healthy, and tasty meal.
Roast Chicken with Balsamic Peppers
Ingredients:
- ¾ tsp fennel seeds crushed
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper divided
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- Cooking spray
- 1 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 cups red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 cup yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- ½ cup sweet yellow onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Fresh parsley chopped
How to Make Roast Chicken with Balsamic Peppers
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Heat a large OVEN PROOF skillet coated in cooking spray and 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Combine the fennel seeds, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, to taste in a small dish and mix well. Sprinkle spice dry rub evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken over; then place into the oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. Remove the chicken to a serving plate and cover with a tin foil tent.
Add the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the same skillet. Add bell peppers and onion; sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in broth, scraping the pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in vinegar then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve bell pepper mixture and sauce over chicken. Enjoy!

I know that the contest is over but still want to comment. I think the scan it feature is rather cool, first time I have seen that in a cook book but it totally makes sense.
I went with Recipage for my micro-formatting because it had the built in share links too (for Pinterest, Twitter, and FB). But now it seems like those aren’t working right. I might look into using ziplist instead.
