This was a completely random dinner I made up a few weeks ago based off a dinner recipe I would make all the time back in the day. This ended up tasting so good, we cook it often now when we want something fairly simple.
It’s a very versatile dish:
- This roasted capsicum chicken is great served with extra steamed veggies and some crusty buttered bread.
- The meat component is great to BBQ as well. Simply cook each breast fillet on the BBQ for several minutes each side until cooked though. Served with BBQ’d potatoes and some salad. YUM!
- Serve baked chicken over mash, pasta, cauliflower rice or polenta.
- Shred the chicken once cooked and mix with the sauce for a yummy pie or burrito filling.
