How to Make Bistro Chicken With Peppers

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes.
  3. Place pepper halves, skin-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand.
  4. Broil for 15 minutes, or until pepper skins are blackened. (Alternatively, blacken the skins directly over a gas flame.)
  5. Place the peppers in a paper bag or zip-top plastic bag. Seal tightly and let stand for 20 minutes.
  6. Peel and cut the peppers into strips. Set aside.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt and 2 minced garlic cloves. Mash into a coarse paste.
  8. Rub the garlic mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  9. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  12. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds.
  13. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 8 minutes.
  14. Add the prepared pepper strips and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
  15. Serve immediately over rice or potatoes. Enjoy!
