How to Make Balsamic Chicken With Red Orange And Yellow Peppers

  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 yellow bell pepper (chopped), 1 orange bell pepper (chopped), and 1/2 medium onion (chopped).
  6. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender-crisp.
  7. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste) and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  8. Cook and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  9. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped) and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine.
  10. Return the chicken to the skillet.
  11. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Juices should run clear.
  12. Stir in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar just before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
