Ingredients
- Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs Coulis 2 large red bell peppers 3-4 marinated or oil-cured sundried tomatoes, chopped (about 2 tablespoons) 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 12-14 fresh basil leaves Salt and pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the peppers on an oiled sheet pan. Bake, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blackened and soft, about 50 minutes (or roast over an open flame on your grill until blackened and blistering). Let the peppers cool and remove and discard the skins and seeds. In a food processor, puree the peppers with the rest of the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and a little oil. Grill the chicken about 10-15 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked to 165 degrees F. when tested with a meat thermometer. Baste the chicken with a bit of the coulis during the last few minutes of grilling. Serve with more coulis on the side or drizzled on the plate.
