Description

A flavorful one-pan meal featuring seared chicken breasts, bell peppers, onion, and garlic for a quick and satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers on the surface.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, then add them to the skillet. Sear each side for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook until the garlic starts to smell sweet and nutty.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Allow chicken to rest before slicing to ensure juiciness.
