This is an obvious combination of the last two dishes I posted, but the combination is so delicious that it merits its own post! Put together Piperade and Sauteed Chicken, and you get a delicious, healthy meal.

I haven’t had much time to cook lately, as my daily schedule has gotten really hectic, so thought I’d continue the trend of recommending recipes that are quick, easy, healthy, and delicious. Can’t beat that combination, right? In and out of the kitchen fast, but still cooking and eating great food!
Piperade is a colorful vegetable accompaniment of Basque origin. It’s actually the same colors as the Basque flag, but I’m not sure if that’s just a coincidence or not. You can make piperade in a large batch and freeze the extras if you like, as it keeps very well. Piperade is a great side or condiment to many foods, such as omelettes, pizzas, or sauteed chicken. It’s great to add color to a dish and is also a nice way to get some veggies in your system.

I find that sauteed chicken is one of the quickest and easiest ways to cook a chicken. To saute a chicken means to brown it, season it, then cover it. Easy, right? Afterward, you can turn the drippings into a nice little sauce. There are also numerous variations for this dish – you’ve probably seen many at restaurants, where a sauteed chicken breast is the main meat surrounded by other vegetable garnishes and covered in a delicious sauce. One of my favorite variations is with Piperade (red and green bell peppers), which I’ll share in a later posting.
Also, if you prefer a meat other than chicken, you can saute that meat using the same process. Chicken is generally healthier, but can be a bit less flavorful depending on your preference. I recommend chicken as a solid base, but mix things up so you (and your dinner guests) don’t get bored!
