Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
Add peppers and scallions. Cook until tender.
Transfer to food processor. Add broth, pepper, garlic and basil. Blend until smooth. Return to skillet.
Brush mixture over chicken and broil for 25 to 30 minutes.
NOTE: I used rotisserie chicken so after I put mixture in food processor I put chicken in pan to sear the chicken a little bit and then added the pepper sauce on top.
Easier than buying chicken breasts and saves a great deal of time.
