If you’re like our family, eat a lot of chicken and are always on the lookout for a new and exciting way to prepare boneless, skinless chicken breasts, then you MUST try this recipe! Chicken can get boring quickly, but, for us anwyay, it is often the most economical meat we buy and is something we eat multiple days a week. I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for years, and for some reason, never got around to making it until a few weeks ago. It is so easy to throw together and I had it on the table in under 20 minutes! The only changes I made were to swap chicken breasts for the thighs as that is what I always have on hand, and I cut back on the red pepper to appease the toddler’s palate. Enjoy!
