Peperonata is an Italian mixture of sweet peppers, onions and garlic cooked in olive oil. Look for peppers that are firm, thick-fleshed and bright in color. Peppers contain twice as much vitamin C as oranges and are high in vitamin A and fiber. One-half cup of raw pieces contains only 14 calories.
INGREDIENTS
| 1 | tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil |
| 1 | medium red bell pepper, cut into strips |
| 1 | medium green bell pepper, cut into strips |
| 3/4 | cup onion slices (about 1 medium onion) |
| 2 | cloves garlic, minced |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/4 | teaspoon black pepper |
| 4 | boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound) |
| 4 | small French rolls, split and toasted |
PREPARATION:
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add bell peppers, onion and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir about 20 minutes or until vegetables are very soft. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Grill chicken on covered grill over medium-hot coals 10 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Or, broil chicken, 6 inches from heat source, 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
