Cost per serving $3.04 view details
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2 pounds chicken breast, boneless/skinless (NOTE: use chicken tenders for this recipe)
  • 2 or 3 large red sweet bell peppers, stemmed, cored and each cut into 8 strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Chopped chives if desired for garnish

Directions

  1. Sprinkle rosemary evenly over one side of chicken tenders, pressing lightly, then sprinkle salt and black pepper lightly to the same side; set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; add sweet bell peppers with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and stir fry 3-4 minutes. Using large serrated spoon remove peppers from pan to bowl; set aside and keep warm.
  3. Reduce pan heat to medium; melt butter with oil drippings in pan. Place chicken tenders seasoned side down into pan and cook 5 minutes adjusting heat as needed to brown chicken. Turn chicken over and cook on other side until golden brown and thickest part of tenders registers 165 degrees F.
