This skillet supper proves that weeknight chicken doesn’t have to be boring when you build flavor in layers.

Browning floured chicken pieces in butter creates a golden crust and leaves behind savory drippings that become the base for a simple pan sauce.

Red or green bell peppers get tender-crisp in their own pan before joining the chicken in a quick broth that pulls everything together.

Kitchen Tips

  • Cut each chicken breast half into 2 pieces for faster, more even cooking
  • Shake off excess flour before browning to prevent a gummy coating
  • Cover the peppers while cooking and shake the pan frequently for even tenderness without over-softening
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or sliced green onions for a pop of color and fresh flavor
