How to Make Broiled Pepper Chicken

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. This will ensure even cooking.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste!), 2 tablespoons melted margarine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Brush the chicken pieces generously on both sides with the margarine mixture.
  5. Place the chicken on a broiler pan rack, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded.
  6. Broil the chicken 7 to 9 inches from the heat for 30 minutes.
  7. Flip the chicken pieces and broil for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
