This has been a lazy week for me.ย I’ve had time to relax, catch up on some reading, and find some new recipes.ย I’ve done a lot of cooking and have really enjoyed some time just chilling.ย I have even been making more relaxed, simple dinner this week.ย Last night we had chicken with red pepper sauce.
I put some simple seasonings on the chicken breast and sauteed it in a pan.ย The red pepper sauce is made from a combination of red peppers, seasonings, white wine, and chicken broth.ย The color really pops against the chicken.ย The sauce is slightly spicy and a little bit sweet.ย It’s delicious and perfect with a side of vegetables.

Looks Great. Peppers are one thing I’m usually able to grow pretty well, so I’m sure i will be referring to this recipe this summer.
