Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers
October 26, 2012
Every now and then I enjoy a real nice healthy meal. Something that is pleasing to the palate but doesn’t require to much work. I know you are like that too!
Well, I was searching the Internet the other day and ran across this recipe from Cooking Light. Â I figured that was a good way to start with a lite meal. I even had all of the ingredients except for the shallots at home. It can’t get much better than that! Dinner went even faster because Shaun was home earlier than usual and he was able to help me cut up all the vegetables. Other than that it’s basically a waiting game for the chicken to be done in the oven. I love these type of meals because I feel like I can go do other things instead of having to wait around in the kitchen twirling my fingers. Yes, I may have been busy on Pinterest and Instagram but they are worth it.
What is you favorite healthy and quick meal?
ENJOY!
Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In small bowl combine all the ingredients for the chicken rub. Pour 1 Tbsp of olive oil into a bowl and brush the oil over each chicken breast. Sprinkle the rub over all sides of the chicken.
Heat a skillet over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Place the chicken into the skillet and cook for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for 3 minutes. Place in a casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is done. (Times may vary due to the size of the chicken breasts.)
Add the bell peppers, shallots, onion and rosemary to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and lower the heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to the skillet and bring the heat back to medium for 6 minutes.
Top the chicken with the bell pepper mixture and a little bit of the sauce.

I love this healthy meal! And it’s so perfect for a weeknight meal! So goodbye to cereal dinners 🙂
I haven’t been disappointed with a cooking light recipe yet! This looks great. Healthy dinner means having dessert.
Exactly!
I can say from experience that this recipe is fabulous! Mr. Herb actually made this for me, and we’ve got it up on our site as well. We made ours sans onion (I’m kind of an onion hater), but LOVED this recipe!
This recipe sounds delicious and perfect for a busy day! Quick meals like this make it easy to balance cooking with other fun activities – like taking rice purity test for a little introspection afterward! What’s your go-to healthy meal?
Last weekend, I tried making Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers – flavorful grilled chicken, combined with slightly sour bell peppers with balsamic flavor, super delicious with rice! While waiting for the chicken to cook, I took the opportunity to make a few rounds of Sprunki Retake , listening to music and feeling extremely chill. If you love cooking and also love music games, this combo is perfect!
Hey, I spent a lot of time bouncing from one news platform to another, and it always felt like the same story — outdated articles, way too many ads, and nothing I could really rely on. After so many letdowns I almost stopped searching altogether. Then I ended up on https://ajel-news.org , and suddenly things clicked. The articles were clear, current, and free from all the junk I’d been trying to avoid. Now it’s the first place I check in the morning, and it finally feels like I found something dependable. Definitely worth a look if you’ve been through the same. .
