The original recipe can be found at Right At Home. The recipe was straightforward and easy to understand.
I like the idea of this dish because it is fresh, easy and fairly healthy. I didn't use lowfat cheese, but that would help those of you who are doing low fat diets.
Preheat your oven to 375.
I roasted a red pepper over my gas stove until I got that nice charred skin.
I sliced the red pepper and got ready to assemble.
Take each chicken breast (recipe calls for 4, but I had 3) and lay 3 big basil leaves down.
Lay slices of the roasted red pepper on the basil.
Top with plain tomato sauce (about a cup and a half) and a sprinkle of oregano.
Cook for 30 minutes.
Add mozzarella cheese on the top and cook or broil 5 minutes more.
Remove toothpicks and enjoy!
Our family enjoyed this dish. It was fresh and light for summer, yet it had a lot of flavor. I will definitely make it again!
This looks so yummy!!! I want to make this but will need to replace the peppers. What do you think I could use instead?
ReplyDeleteHi, Katie! What about a few sundried tomatoes? It is an Italian themed chicken dish, so that would fit in, and I know you like those--at least I know your mom does! :) I THINK you like those! I couldn't make this for Ryan, but I would love to add some artichoke hearts chopped up! Yummers!
Deletemmmmm... yes I can see total replacement of sundried tomatoes and artichokes. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteYES! That's exactly what I'll do! I'll let you know how it turns out! :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you tweak it and, yes, if it turns out!
DeleteI'll have to try this one after I try your Chicken Kiev! I'm going to attempt that tomorrow night ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh, Lisa! You will love that chicken kiev! Mmmm. It is a no fail dish. Let me know if you like it!
DeleteWe had it last night with the sundried tomatoes and artichokes which was very good! I'll use less tomatoes next time though because it was a little strong. Thanks Bara!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie! This is good to know! Yes, sundried tomatoes are really potent. A little goes a LONG way! Thanks for letting me know how it was . . .
