Chicken Breasts with Peppers
2 Tb olive or vegetable oil
2 medium red, green or yellow peppers, cut into thing strips
1 tsp garlic powder
1 envelope (or 1/4 cup of your homemade mix) onion soup mix
2 boneless chicken breasts, halved (meaning if you bought them butterflied, or the halves of the breast were connected - cut them into separate halves. You should end up with 4 halves like the one pictured above)
1 c water
1/2 tsp basil leaves
In large skillet, heat oil and brown chicken over medium-high heat. Remove chicken. Add peppers and cook, stirring frequently, two minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender. Stir in onion soup mix blended with water and basil; bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet and simmer uncovered eight minutes or until chicken is done, turning chicken once. Makes 4 servings.
Adaptations:
For a Food Storage meal- use canned chicken and peppers or another veggie.
For the Crockpot - dump all the ingredients in the pot! Cook for the typical 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 on low. You could absolutely use frozen peppers and chicken without thawing first - just toss them in as is! You may brown the chicken first if you prefer.
this looks soo yummy! I'm going to try it tomorrow.
