How to Make Red Bell Pepper Stuffed Chicken With White Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 2 large red bell peppers until blackened, about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
  2. Place roasted peppers in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. This will loosen the skins.
  3. Peel off the blackened skin and remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers.
  4. Cut each pepper into six equal-sized pieces.
  5. Butterfly 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: Cut horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  6. Season chicken inside and out with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  7. Place 2-3 pieces of roasted red pepper into the center of each chicken breast.
  8. Top with 4-6 fresh basil leaves.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese over the peppers.
  10. Fold the chicken breast closed and secure with three small pieces of kitchen twine.
  11. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  12. Add the chicken and cook, covered, for 7-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  13. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Remove twine.
  14. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 finely chopped shallots. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  15. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  16. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  17. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  18. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it, turning to coat. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  19. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh julienned basil.
