How to Make Grilled Chicken Breast With Creamy Red Pepper Sauce

  1. Prepare the sauce: While the chicken grills (see step 9), sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon butter/margarine until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the peppers: Add 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Blend the sauce: In a blender, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (low-fat), 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup dry white wine, the cooked peppers, and onions. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Return the sauce to the saucepan and cook over low heat until heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Prepare the chicken: Season two 6-ounce chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  6. Grill the chicken: Grill the chicken breasts on a preheated grill or George Foreman grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy red pepper sauce generously over the cooked chicken breasts.
  8. Garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
