A finalist in the 2012 Just Bare Just 5 Cooking Challenge, this recipe comes from Debbie R. of Clearwater, FL. Greek in inspiration, the chunky sauce topping this chicken makes good use of jarred roasted bell peppers, salty feta cheese, and briny olives.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (12 ounces) jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained
- 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
- 4 (about 24 ounces) Just Bare Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
