Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 4 red bell peppers, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat grill. Rub 2 red bell peppers with oil. Grill peppers, turning frequently, until skins are charred on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Place bell peppers in a brown paper bag and seal tightly; cool for 10 minutes. Peel, deseed and coarsely chop peppers. Cut remaining peppers into thick strips.

  3. 3

    Mix roasted peppers, cream, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Cook, stirring continually, over medium heat until mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Process in a blender until smooth.

You can save time by simmering the whipping cream until it is reduced by half. This concentrated cream will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Combine with roasted peppers, salt and pepper in a blender. Process until smooth. Proceed with recipe.

Great Pairings

Beer-Baked Potatoes

If nonalcoholic dark beer is not available at the local grocery store or is priced beyond your budget, you can substitute 1/2 cup chicken broth. The potatoes will turn out just as delicious.
