Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium sweet red peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
1 large whole garlic bulb
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 cup sliced leek (white portion only)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Hot cooked pasta, optional
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Broil peppers 4 in. from the heat until skins blister, about 15 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin.

Wrap bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic into the food processor with peppers; cover and process until almost smooth. Set aside., Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken in remaining oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove and keep warm., In the same skillet, cook leek for 2 minutes or until leek is lightly browned. Add broth, stirring to loosen any browned bits from pan. Add red pepper mixture, chicken and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 minutes until the chicken juices run clear. Uncover; pepper sauce over pasta if desired. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
